8 Newborns don't react too well to their ears popping on airplanes, so it might have been a crappy flight.

9 The Rest is one of the masterpieces of Caravaggio’s early period, datable to about 1597. The composition is divided in a completely original manner by the figure of an Angel shown from the back playing a violin. On the right, surrounded by luxuriant vegetation, is a sleeping Madonna with the Child in her arms. Both are depicted in an idealized style, and the beauty of their features is in direct contrast to the naturalistic portrayal of Saint Joseph.

16 13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”

14 When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, 15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”

Half-dressed or in a three-piece suit, doesn't matter. People tend to be really scared when angels show up in the Bible, which is why the first thing they say is something like "Calm down; I'm not here to smite you (this time)."

133 Instead of the more common images of the trek to Egypt, this is a tranquil moment in the journey. The pose of Mary and Jesus is perfect, mother and baby utterly relaxed and sleeping peacefully. Their skin tones are soft and healthy, reflecting the lighter tones of the angel. All else is subdued and restful in appearance.

I don't recall from the Bible an angel appearing on the journey and I don't know if there were bowed string instruments at that time. Maybe the angel is to show the family was protected on the journey.

At least in the Sim version, there are two men standing by her bedside after Ebenezer leaves the room. One is presumably the doctor, and I always understood the other to be her husband.

Regardless, the absence of the father from Fred's life in preference to Scrooge is never explained (not even in the story, if I recall). It's weird. You'd think if her husband had predeceased Fan, it would've been noted, at least in passing.

Thanks. As work is slow right now, I checked. All Dickens wrote was:

"Always a delicate creature, whom a breath might have withered," said the Ghost. "But she had a large heart!"

"So she had," cried Scrooge. "You're right, I'll not gainsay it, Spirit. God forbid!"

"She died a woman," said the Ghost, "and had, as I think, children."

"One child," Scrooge returned.

"True," said the Ghost. "Your nephew!"

Scrooge seemed undeasy in his mind; and answered brielly, "Yes."

She asks him to go with her, but warns there’s no going back. Of course he goes. I was like 19 when I wrote this.

I always think Joseph gets short shrift in the Bible. He accepted God's will, was a provider and protector and should have been honored more. Even in this painting he is keeping watch over his family and assisting the angel. Vigilant and useful.

190 okay:

Cream 1 cup butter with 1 cup sugar.

Mix in 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Mix in (mixed) dry ingredients, 3 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder.

Roll out on floured surface (I toss a thick disk of about half of dough on floured surface, and rub flour on pin over disk, to dust the top of dough a bit before rolling)

Cut and transfer to cookie sheets (I use parchment paper) and bake in preheated 400* oven, for 8-10 depending on how thin you roll and how your oven runs--check a little early and remove when edges are barely brown.

Cool on sheet for a couple minutes, then transfer to rack to cool completely.

Been suing this for over 30 years, and it is reliable.

Good luck, Merry Christmas, and I believe in you!

195 Rest on the Flight into Egypt
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio
1597 creation
Location: Galleria Doria Pamphilj
Art gallery in Rome, Italy

After having been warned about the wrath of Herod, the Holy Family flees Bethlehem to seek safety in Egypt (Matthew 2:13-15). Depictions of Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus at rest in the countryside became a popular image of family intimacy.

AI Overview: Famous depictions by artists like Titian, Merson, and Mola show varied details, from angels bringing fruit to Joseph dozing, emphasizing the tender, domestic side of this biblical flight.

New Daily Compass: When Caravaggio painted the Flight into Egypt on a tablecloth

In part, “Rest on the Flight into Egypt” is an unusual picture that Caravaggio painted in 1597 on a Flanders cloth, a fabric then used to make tablecloths. It was painted during the Roman period of the artist, who lived a short and troubled life due to his quarrelsome temperament.

..Michelangelo Merisi (1571-1610), known as Caravggio, had a short and tempestuous life. The undisputed leader of the Baroque, he is an artist who can be considered a 'photographer' because of the intense precision of the details in his works.

The calculus is more complicated with supernatural girls who can fly.

I’ll have to recreate the lyrics one day. It was a really good song, very Dio-y. He goes with her, experiences supernatural bliss, but then loses her in the shadows. He finds himself back in the real world. He tries to find that bliss again, but can’t. So he realizes the girl was right all along. There was no going back. It just wasn’t in the way he originally thought.

246 Eris, if you're still here:

Let the sheets cool completely between loads of cookies.

I have these weird thick sheets with a central layer supposedly designed for even heating, and first batch always takes a minute longer because they take a bit to heat up. Consequently, they stay hot for a while out of the oven, and can cause some minimal blorph on ANY cookie if I reload immediately (that burned edge you can get on drop cookies sometimes, while the center is still soft?), so I always let them cool before loading again.

Please let me know how it goes.

"The philosophy of Kant is a systematic rationalization of every major psychological vice. The metaphysical inferiority of this world (as a "phenomenal" world of mere "appearances"), is a rationalization for the hatred of reality. The notion that reason is unable to perceive reality and deals only with "appearances," is a rationalization for the hatred of reason; it is also a rationalization for a profound kind of epistemological egalitarianism which reduces reason to equality with the futile puttering of "idealistic" dreamers. The metaphysical superiority of the "noumenal" world, is a rationalization for the supremacy of emotions, which are thus given the power to know the unknowable by ineffable means."

This morning, mine was oatmeal with beef broth, to which I added pieces of sliced ham and black beans. Chopped onion and black pepper for seasoning.

310 RE: Kant

I am in the midst of reading a fascinating overview of the various “humanist” philosophers (Feuerbach, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Comte) from the perspective of a Catholic priest, Vincent Micelli. The Gods of Atheism. I thought it was going to be a more modern book about more trivial modern gods when I got it (I bought it during a sale on SophiaInstitute.com) but it turns out to be much better and deeper than that.

327 If Farage can win a bigly yuuge majority Britain does have hope. Parliamentary systems are basically dictatorships. Get a majority and you do what you want for 5 years.

331 I would take Rand's criticism of Kant with a grain of salt. As an atheist, she needed some ground of faith to condemn the infidel (to "reality" as Rand theorized it).

Rand is quite shrewd in some of her reasoning, but quite insistent on her view in others.

335 Jesus was a toddler when the Magi found and worshipped him. The Koine Greek says “τό παιδίον”. After the visit of the Magi, Joseph was warned in a dream to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt and stay there until Herod the Great was dead. Herod ordered the Massacre of the Innocents where all the boy children under two in Bethlehem were slaughtered. Herod died in 4 BC, a date well attested in multiple sources. So given that Jesus was between say one to one and a half years old at the time of the visit of the Magi, and Herod hadn’t died yet, Dionysius the Monk, who set up the Christian calendar, was off a few years concerning the birth of our Saviour.
