...and making progress.
We went to an interesting Nativity play this afternoon in nearly San Luis. It's a singing version of the shepherds looking for Baby Jesus -- all in Spanish, and including Lucifer! I had never seen a sword/pitchfork fight between Satan and Gabriel before -- but it sure spices up a Christmas play.
Keeping on, getting things done. The new year's coming, and I want to be completely caught up.
Meanwhile:
Andrew Crispo died recently -- a most unusual man. (Some would say con man.)
This girl is bragging because she read 120 books in 2025. Big Deal, Honey -- I am pretty sure I read that many books EVERY YEAR. If not more.
The year's strangest valuable art discoveries.
Asian Christmas dinner recipes. Or for New Year's! (From Khin's Kitchen)
Could the killer connected with the Black Dahlia and Zodiac murders...be the same person? These people obviously think so, though I'm a bit more skeptical. But it is intriguing to consider.
The Ketton Mosaic -- found on a farming family's land, while they were taking a walk. It's an interesting version of the Trojan war -- the first time it's been found mentioned in a British mosaic! The triple-panel mosaic is...
bordered by a braided pattern often employed in ancient illustrated texts. Indeed, the brutal story reads somewhat like a Roman comic book. The first panel shows the heroes [Achilles and Hector] at full speed, spears raised and hair flowing as they charge at one another from chariots. The second offers the clash’s vindictive aftermath, as Achilles drags Hector’s bloodied body across the battlefield. The third presents the ransom of Hector’s corpse, with an enthroned Achilles poised to accept its weight in gold from Hector’s father Priam, the ruler of Troy.
Have a great week...and new year.
