Welcome, also, to the Rectory for wine & cheese and a ride through Highland Park to see the best lights. 

By the way, we are dropping the idea of riding bikes through Highland Park to look at the Christmas lights.  It is just too cold.  Plus, each bike would need lights on front and back, a little expensive.

 True?    

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
