This Saturday.

Tupperware party from 3:30pm, and housewarming party later. We will be firing up the spa and I will be baking yummy things. If you need the address just respond here, or LJ message me, or e-mail me, or e-mail Matt, or SMS or call either of us. They all work.

Oh, and did I tell you? It is SO GOOD to be able to walk without crutches.

What is the real world like? I sometimes wonder.

Thank you, everyone for being there with your thoughts and prayers. It means a lot to us.

This is the part of the post where I say something clever, something mysterious or funny, something thought provoking from my beer battered brain.

I got nuthin.

P'raps being the community liason officer was a bit more taxing than I first thought. Every event, every meeting I gave away so much energy trying to get Mikey to try the tasteless crap I was serving for breakfast and make him think he likes it.

Not as easy as you might think.

I look back at my past posts and I did indeed have boughts of lucid wisdom that I am begining to wonder if I was all that drunk when I wrote them.

P'raps I'm just getting old.

Or failing to see the obvious.

The magic.

It's everywhere. Yes it is, I checked. Magic in the glowing lamp filled with golden oil that chases the mosquitoes away, in the bi-colored smelly dust mop on the lawn right now eating the cat food we set out for him, in the gentle creep of the night filled with such sounds of wonder.

Another world that I get to sit and watch from the outside, like a tourist at the zoo with nothing but a collection of blurry photos to remind me how wonderful it was and how cheap and lacking my camera and my memory is.

But I have a gentleman with me, and time, and the white glow of my gutsy laptop.

And the spell that let's me peel back the night and see the magic within.

I was diving the the Bahamas for reefers (see icon) and we came across a tiny baby stingray under a rock!
He was really shy and only about as big as my hand, but we managed to coax him out with some bits of squid I had in my BC so we could take his picture.

Sorry for the crappy quality, we were afraid a flash would scare him away -

What Your Taste in Music Says About You

Your musical tastes are reflective and complex. You are intellectual to the point of being cerebral. You are very open to new experiences, and even more open to new ideas and theories. Wisdom and personal accomplishment are important to you. You are naturally sophisticated. You are drawn to art, especially art by independent artists. You are likely to be financially well off... and not because you were born that way.

Belief in God 'childish,' Jews not chosen people: Einstein letter

LONDON (AFP) - Albert Einstein described belief in God as "childish superstition" and said Jews were not the chosen people, in a letter to be sold in London this week, an auctioneer said Tuesday.

The father of relativity, whose previously known views on religion have been more ambivalent and fuelled much discussion, made the comments in response to a philosopher in 1954.

As a Jew himself, Einstein said he had a great affinity with Jewish people but said they "have no different quality for me than all other people".

"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.

"No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this," he wrote in the letter written on January 3, 1954 to the philosopher Eric Gutkind, cited by The Guardian newspaper.

The German-language letter is being sold Thursday by Bloomsbury Auctions in Mayfair after being in a private collection for more than 50 years, said the auction house's managing director Rupert Powell.

In it, the renowned scientist, who declined an invitation to become Israel's second president, rejected the idea that the Jews are God's chosen people.

"For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions," he said.

"And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people."

And he added: "As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them."

Previously the great scientist's comments on religion -- such as "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" -- have been the subject of much debate, used notably to back up arguments in favour of faith.

Powell said the letter being sold this week gave a clear reflection of Einstein's real thoughts on the subject. "He's fairly unequivocal as to what he's saying. There's no beating about the bush," he told AFP.
