I'm now at home with a glass gin and some ice cubes swirling around in it.

The tinkling sound is wonderful. I call it gintinabulation.

The temperature has dropped 10 degrees already. The wind is blowing hard out there. it may not get down to -60, but it's going to get cold. After a day near 70. I think things are ready to bloom and this happens.

Watching the last 90 minutes of Reformation. The first 30 minutes are fascinating. Making various religious philosophies dramatic is hard.

Whoa! (Hmm, sounds almost...good.)

Gin was as mother's milk to her. Besides, he's poured so much down his own throat that he knew the good of it...

The allergies are out of control right now. Everyone around is suffering. People at work can't speak because of their allergies. Joy tonight could barely talk (a minor miracle given her gift of gab).

I am sorry about all the suffering but chucked at the minor miracle.

We have things beginning to bloom here, too soon before the temps drop again.

I hope DR TCB had a nice day in Key West.

Yup, Eliza. You learned your lessons well.

Thomas Muntzer, a theological contemporary of Luther's but with a much more communist bent, has just rushed into battle bearing a flag that looks like the rainbow flag of the LGBT movement. And the bloodshed that follows is not a pretty sight. Neither are the scenes of hanging that followed.

Still listening to music and delightful music at that. But I'm about to go sit on my couch like so much fish. Grant did hang some paintings today - I've been after him for eight months to hang more - stuff just sitting against a wall in the den. So, three more will go up tomorrow.

John G. · « **Reply #72 on:** January 28, 2019, 07:01:30 PM »

But for a change, this part of the story is accurate.

The Tetzel character is seen killed by Muntzer. The real Tetzel died a broken old man whom Luther tried to comfort in his final days.

The problem with this second part of the drama is that it focuses less on Luther than the first. But it makes a great case for a follow-up.

When we lived in Ashland it was always mentioned in news reports as having the largest number of un-vaccinated children in the country. Shortly after we moved there was a small outbreak of measles and suddenly all the parents decided to vaccinate their children.

It seems Vancouver is not the hot spot. Currently there have been 35 confirmed cases and 11 suspected cases of measles. Apparently in the early stages it can be difficult to distinguish between measles and a cold or flu. I never heard that which is why there are so many suspected cases. Time will answer the question.

I still recall my sister being deathly ill with measles and at risk of losing her eyesight.

Good evening.

Busy few days lately.

Jane, I had a measles booster when there was a case of measles at my kids' school. I couldn't go on campus as a volunteer until I proved to the school nurse that I had a booster shot.

Laura · « **Reply #79 on:** January 28, 2019, 07:19:17 PM »

DR Elmore, is that OUR Ben Davis also in the cast of Call Me Madam?

The new security cameras showed an unwanted human visitor today. How nice that I could see who was at the door and not answer.

I think that Randy Rainbow song is probably his best yet.

You never had measles? Lucky you. When Bryan went to medical school he had to titer to prove all his vaccina6were were still protecting him. I hope they still are.

Dear reader Laura - the baby avatar is very cute.

Just listened to In Transit, the a capella musical. Ugh. Easy to see why it flopped. Not the a capella, but the really bad storylines. I don't want to spend time with any of these people and I don't care about what they're singing.

I'm now listening to the British musical Ann Veronica, now that I've finished the book. It seems to have missed out on the humor.

No wonder it didn't run for any length of time.
