Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to
Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her
iniquity is pardoned. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,
prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make straight in the desert a highway for
our God. (Isaiah 40:1-3)

I'm not done with the trip yet, but I will be soon (Saturday, probably), so here is a random picture tucked between days of Chicago's Lake Michigan shore on a cold and blustery winter day, about two hours after the end of our first winter storm of the season.
Biologically speaking, I am descended from people who spent their lives fishing the Great Lakes. But something was lost in the generations between those guys and me. They knew better than to be on the lake on a day like this. They wouldn't have gotten their feet as wet as I did, and they certainly wouldn't have followed the directions on that sign.

The Messiah-Salabue Stradivarius of 1716 is a violin made by Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari of Cremona.
The Messiah, sobriquet Le Messie, remained in the Stradivarius workshop until his death in 1737. It was then sold by his son Paolo to Count Cozio di Salabue in 1775, and for a time, the violin bore the name Salabue. The instrument was then purchased by Luigi Tarisio in 1827. Upon Tarisio’s death, in 1854, French luthier Jean Baptiste Vuillaume of Paris purchased The Messiah along with Tarisio's entire collection. One day Tarisio was discoursing to Vuillaume on the merits of this unknown and marvelous instrument, when the violinist Jean-Delphin Alard (Vuillaume's son-in-law), exclaimed: 'Then your violin is like the Messiah: one always expects him but he never appears' ('Ah, ça, votre violon est donc comme le Messie; on l'attend toujours, et il ne parait jamais'). Thus the violin was baptized with the name by which it is still known.
The Messiah was bequeathed to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England. As a condition in the will of the former owner, the Museum can never allow the violin to be played.
The violin is in very good condition, as it has apparently never been played. It is one of the most valuable of all the Stradivari instruments.

Annual Celebration to mark the anniversary of the first performance of Handel's Messiah in Fishamble Street Dublin in 1742.
Martin Sherman's play starts off in the Ukraine during the 1660s. Some Jews there learn of a Jewish Messiah who is preaching down in Constantinople and they eventually decide to travel down there. The first act takes place in the cold of Eastern Europe, and the people were very bound up in their clothes, in dull, muted colors.
