Don’t know if it was the rain or wind that disrupted our antennae reception of PBS last night since we don’t watch enough tv to know whether our reception is reliable in the best of circumstances but we tried to tune in to the Ric Burns Civil War meditation on death. The carnage was unbelievable but I expected at least some discussion of what it must have been like to commit yourself to standing in a wall formation before the armed forces of your fellow countrymen. Two hours later, still in a couch sitting stupor, “Frontline” jolted us with an hour special on the civil war in Syria. Their embedded journalist’s reporting and interviews with the committed rebels made it perfectly clear why citizens would get out in the street with machines guns blazing.
“Jesus and Mary Magdalene siting in tree. K I S S I N G”. History is not dead!
Rochester’s Fringe Fest starts tomorrow and Margaret Explosion plans to perform a special Fringe set of music tonight at the Little Theater to kick it all off.

I’ve been having issues with PBS over the air the last few days too.
a scrap of papyrus was discovered in Egypt and there is a reference to a quote from Jesus in which He refers to His wife Mary, plenty of speculation about authenticity at this point….
