Sorry Everybody.  This is a total board decision.  Prevent contagion with Corona virus. 

Please pass the word to anyone you think  of.

I will miss you all, John

Rosemary's Blessing

Dear Lord, please give me

 A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,
     without which the world would be the poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

A sense of humor;

Time for quiet, silent meditation;

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

Amen.
