About two weeks ago, the Prediger was hospitalized with a wicked respiratory infection/COPD flare…and he was told that the smoking has to go. Also, I have been taking him to various doctor’s offices, as well as catching up with assignments.

As I have been trying to grok Java, I’ve been listening to Ultravox. If you have received e-mail from me, you have seen my sig– the refrain to Reap the Wild Wind. Midge Ure has a wonderful voice worth listening, and the videos have plenty of theatrics worth mentioning.

BTW: If you really want proof that Midge Ure has the most underrated voice of the 80s, listen to “Visions in Blue.” Please note that it is NOT “Visions in MAUVE”. That applies to the web presence and overall aesthetics of the Missouri Synod.
