Currently, I am doing what every proud American should be doing:
crocheting a purse and avoiding the media by watching “The Aristocats” with my 4 fuzzy children
I have no desire to watch the hype tonight over who won — I’m wanting it to be a (hopefully pleasant) surprise when I wake up tomorrow morning.
Update: My curiousity got the better of me so I’m watching to see how the South Dakota Senate race is doing. Daschle had better win, darn it!
(Yes, that’s my freckled forehead…)
When I was just ein junger Mann I studied canon law;
While Erfurt was a challenge, it was just to please my Pa.
Then came the storm, the lightning struck, I called upon Saint Anne,
I shaved my head, I took my vows, an Augustinian! Oh…
Chorus:
Papal bulls, indulgences, and transubstantiation
Speak your mind against them and face excommunication!
Nail your theses to the door, let’s start a Reformation!
Papal bulls, indulgences, and transubstantiation!
When Tetzel came near Wittenberg, St. Peter’s profits soared,
I wrote a little notice for the All Saints’ Bull’tin board:
“You cannot purchase merits, for we’re justified by grace!
Here’s 95 more reasons, Brother Tetzel, in your face!” Oh…
Chorus:
Papal bulls, indulgences, and transubstantiation
Speak your mind against them and face excommunication!
Nail your theses to the door, let’s start a Reformation!
Papal bulls, indulgences, and transubstantiation!
They loved my tracts, adored my wit, all were exempleror;
The Pope, however, hauled me up before the Emperor.
“Are these your books? Do you recant?” King Charles did demand,
“I will not change my Diet, Sir, God help me here I stand!” Oh…
Chorus:
Papal bulls, indulgences, and transubstantiation –
Speak your mind against them and face excommunication!
Nail your theses to the door, let’s start a Reformation!
Papal bulls, indulgences, and transubstantiation!
Duke Frederick took the Wise approach, responding to my words,
By knighting “George” as hostage in the Kingdom of the Birds.
Use Brother Martin’s model if the languages you seek,
Stay locked inside a castle with your Hebrew and your Greek! Oh…
Chorus:
Papal bulls, indulgences, and transubstantiation –
Speak your mind against them and face excommunication!
Nail your theses to the door, let’s start a Reformation!
Papal bulls, indulgences, and transubstantiation!
Let’s raise our steins and Concord Books while gathered in this place,
And spread the word that ‘catholic’ is spelled with lower case;
The Word remains unfettered when the Spirit gets his chance,
So come on, Katy, drop your lute, and join us in our dance! Oh…
Chorus:
Papal bulls, indulgences, and transubstantiation –
Speak your mind against them and face excommunication!
Nail your theses to the door, let’s start a Reformation!
Papal bulls, indulgences, and transubstantiation!

I carved 6 of the 7 pumpkins from the garden today. (The 7th was drawn on with a Sharpie pen.) I made 4 “cat-o-lanterns”, 1 with crosses, and 1 with a kitty silhouette cut out of it. (Pictures will be posted tomorrow night.) While I was doing this, I had some “help”.
Edda making sure that the pumpkins are acceptable to carve.
Freya picking her pumpkin before it was washed.
Freya deciding that she would conquer the pumpkin pen for her own territory.
Edda making sure the pumpkins were clean.
Edda choosing her pumpkin and making sure I had the necessary tools to carve it.
Mike, that will be 3 rosaries for your transgression as well as some time in purgatory.
My mother’s kitten returned about 4:00 this morning. No injuries, no explanation, and a coat full of burrs. He is royally grounded but Mom and Dad are happy to have him back.
One of my mom’s kittens is lost (didn’t come in last night) and we’re currently under flood warning with several streets underwater.
This is gonna be a fun day….
