Looks like war, famine, and disease are what we'll be getting in 2017

One of the most famous recurring miracles — even if one not quite sanctioned by the Catholic Church — is the liquefaction of the dried blood of San Gennaro, or St. Januarius, a bishop of Naples martyred around 305 A.D. and the city's patron saint. Starting in 1389, the vial of San Gennaro's blood typically turns liquid three times a year: on the Saturday before the first Sunday of May; on his saint's feast day, Sept. 19; and on Dec. 16, the day Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 1631. The blood liquefied on Sept. 19 this year, but not on Dec. 16. "In local lore, the failure of the blood to liquefy signals war, famine, disease, or other disaster," Catholic News Agency reports.

So, what did the Magic 9-Ball say?

Oh great. I need to go talk to my priest to see which dead person I need to pray to so they can tell God that I am worried about this.

So exactly like every other year in the history of the human race?

But all those things happened in Naples, so as long as you're not in Greece you should be fine.

I thought this was going to be about Russia. Turns out it is something even stupider.

San Genarro needs a good mudchecking

Thanks! I'm home from the hospital and recovering from home. I did have one complication after my open heart surgery though.
One week to the day after the open heart surgery my blood had become too thin due to medications. Long story short, blood started seeping out of my heart and filling the membrane that surrounds the heart. I coded that night, had to be brought back, then had a second emergency heart surgery that night to relieve the leaking blood. That really put my recovery back.
I'm feeling much better now though. I can walk 4 min non-stop without oxygen. In fact I hope to be totally off the oxygen within a couple weeks. I'm hoping by early spring to be back up and running on normal. At least that's my goal.
BTW: Getting dressed to go see Star Wars. I'm excited to be getting out. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers everyone.

Good to hear. Hopefully you'll be up and running in time for all the Naples havoc we're in for
