Another Sagittarian
One week until Christmas, and another retail season builds to a crescendo. Work is going well, even though things can be stressful.
My son is obsessed with books right now. It's funny, Corrie was interested in TV almost from the get go, and also loves books. Jack has never been interested in TV, not even remotely (no pun intended). He loves the Dr. Seuss books, and can just never get enough of sitting on one of our laps and reading.
But now to my title. There are worlds in which I simply do not dwell. One of them is horoscopes. For those of you who do not know, today is the birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven. If there is extraterrestrial life out there that finds our Voyager space craft, they will be able to be entertained by this master's music, as his 5th symphony is on the craft as a representation of human art and culture. This morning, as I woke to classical music on Minnesota Public Radio, I laughed at the DJ's words:
"In the midst of the Christmas frenzy, we remember the birthday of another Sagittarian...Beethoven."
It made me laugh to think of this woman's mentality. Beethoven was a Sagittarian, just like Jesus. Oddly enough, through further research, December 25 falls within the Capricorn sign, so I don't know to what "other" Sagittarius she was referring.
Now if Beethoven could have turned his piano into a feast for 5000, then you'd have something.
