This was at the museum, also. I can't help wanting to share these, I know it's off topic a little. But they give you such a window into the past.

JenB likes a book (the Doomsday Book) that is set during the time of the Black Death. It's pretty good, actually, at least reading it made an impression on me.
Yes, he's black&white so looks "silver by day, shade by night" ... he was named after a famous horse from LOTR (But he's over 4 years old so I named him long before the film came out)
With those skeletal figures, it looks like he's painted "Army of Darkness" a few centuries ahead of time
Except for the parts of the Appalachian Trail where you might run into my relatives...
Did you see Deliverance?
As of this a.m. things seem to have stabilized with my FIL. I think the next few days/weeks/months are going to be a roller coaster ride of sorts.
For now the meds are helping and the surgery to flush the kidneys looks like a viable option.
Of course that could change before any of y'all read this. Thanks for the prayers and words of support.
I like "Army of Darkness," it's one of the few movies I actually own. My wife loves movies, but that is one she won't watch with me.
It is reminiscent - I suppose the guys who made it may have been familiar with the painting.
Interestingly, Brueghel apparently only lived to the age of 44, so he must have painted this while still in his 30's. I guess it looks like something that someone in their 30's might paint.
Now....what's for breakfast?
Corin, does that mean that his kidneys have started working again?

I think that's what it means. The difficulty comes in the fact that we haven't talked directly to the doctors. We're getting this filtered through my father-in-law, and he's a little confused.
Here's what we deal with with the family: We broke our own "50%" rule. That rule says you take what the family tells you and subtract 50% from the severity. It's the type of thing where my mother-in-law will read the consent forms for surgery. You know the ones that everyone signs when there is going to be general anesthesia? (we signed the same ones when my son had tubes put in his ears). When my mother-in-law reads "there is risk with any surgery," it's re-translated to us as "you know he might not make it through the surgery..."
Don't get me wrong. We did almost lose him Tuesday. But he's bounced back to a certain extent...for now.
Well, that's because you've been slowing down on your sneaking. ;^)
Morning Rosie!
It's been that way with the whistle this week. Fingers just don't want to play the notes in the correct order!
Yes! That and the fact that I haven't been very disciplined when it comes to paying attention to proper bow direction. Now I'm going back and playing tunes very slowly, bowing up or down as indicated instead of just going at it. You wouldn't think keeping a pattern of up and down strokes going would be soooo hard!
