The Reformation of Wolfshausen
Teil Fünfundsechzig
To hear my sister narrate the events of May 1524-1527, jump into the ring of fire with the priest or farmer or whoever.
Or, you can read this week's episode on a hill over the battle of Frankenhausen.

Wonderful reading by Doug's sister. Very expressive.
Müntzer was a feminist - I'm sure he got what he deserved and peasants should know their places.
Great episode, Doug. Love the juxtaposition of the violent historical incidents and Hilda's silly reformation. I guess I'll be seeing her in Hell.
(Those paintings are amazing.)
I hope that Frau Braun will not lose her new-found humor now that Hilda is gone.
Sweet episode, well read by sis.
"Some men were hanged for handsomeness...." Ack!!?? We need all the handsome men we can get!
Hoppy Easter!
Thanks, Nessa. That cyclorama was something of a revelation. Maybe if I'm in Germany again.
TLP, you don't need semimillenial handsome men, I don't think. They left the vampires alone.
Hoppy Easter, Nessa.
A-bell, The Name of The Rose?
But those semi millennial men would have passed on their awesome genes. Ya see how that works?
Lovely read and episode for the holiday weekend.
Remain calm, everyone. There's a similar difficulty on Stuffed Animal Planet. I've already alerted the CDC of possible contagion.
That must be a sad life in which laughter feels like a sin.
Sure, TLP. But now we have photoshop.
Thanks, Cooper. I hope you hand a holy weekend with your buddhist friends and in-home bartender.
Similar to what, Karen?
Well, Ariel, wouldn't it be a sadder one in which laughter feels like enterprise?
Similar to Photoshop this morning, Doug. I'm having to re-upload almost every single jpg on my posts. It's aggravating and is going to take forever.
No, Doug, that's just an everyday life. :)
