We transferred our computer equipment from Arizona to Texas last week. In the process, including the weekend, we discovered we were not successful in making connection to SCJ.

One of the discoveries of aging and adding to the years of a happy marriage is learning that you and your spouse may have differing agendas. These agendas do not arise as the result of conflict. It just happens that your interests vary. For example, even when we are together, we are often apart while [...]
A walk along the two-and-a-half-mile Freedom Trail http://gonewengland.about.com/cs/bostonattractions/a/aafreedomtrail.htm is one of the best ways to get acquainted with Boston and to efficiently visit the city’s bounty of historic landmarks.

Okay, here it is, dear SCJ Friends!! I commented on Sam’s Laws for New Scorpia (the Archidon Society) a couple of weeks ago.

As the poem suggests, Christmas is only a few short hours away. It is not yet here, but the night before is inching its way, as it always does around this time, to that moment when the mystical magic of Christmas occurs.
When it arrives, all the Santas will have met the wonderful expectations of childhood.

Our cousin has been in our home following surgery for a little less than a week. He is a person to whom other people gravitate. His warmth, genuineness, sense of humor all magnetically draw people out and soon they are friends, dear friends, with deep affections.
As a result numerous persons are requesting opportunity to visit him during his recovery hiatus at our home. He has cancer. The surgery was both complex and involved. His health is quite good otherwise and thus his recovery from the surgery is moving along nicely.
His friends are requesting time
