For these are my real friends, and to them go my sincerest thanks.

4-'4' LARRY KARASS To know what is unpenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty. Albert Einstein We didn't choose the day of our birth, nor may we choose the day of our death, yet choice is the sovereign faculty of the mind. We didn't choose our parents, colour, sex, health, or endowments, We were shaken into existence like dice from a box, Barriers and prison walls surround us. We encompass large landscapes with the aid of observation and memory, We know ourselves: but we aren't the only window through which we view our existence. Our eyes are on the future and we are certain that one small part of what is given us is free. We are children of Saturn who shed our influence on growing man. To us, the past is a foreign country, where things are done differently: but we know, through experience, that those who fly too near the sun get scorched. JIM LOCKE So you want to know the whys and the wherefores of the Irish ..... what shapes their doom and runns them on their way, Ray Bradbury Activities: Interrupting Awards: Punch in the mouth. Pet Peeves: Runny noses fSnivvlesj, Nikkormats, and especially the C. B.C, If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
