Sonal, hope your MBP is getting better. I would have had a heart attack had it happened to mine!
Marc, good luck with the award. My fingers are crossed. And when you do get to Toronto, don't forget to keep me in the loop. I would love to meet you again; and use this excuse to meet other COTU-based EhMacers.
I am sorry I was incommunicado this last month. I had to rush back to India because my father-in-law died suddenly. He has no sons, so it was my duty to perform the funeral rituals that go on for 13 days. On day 13, I fell ill and was out for the count for the next 10 days. I just got back from India late last night.
Internet access obviously was not on the high-priority list and so I was completely offline for the month. Just catching up on all the emails and news now. Am sorry to hear about Jack Layton. He was my seat-mate on a flight from Ottawa to Toronto. Found him quite humble and without any airs.
I am finding this ointment makes my work quite difficult as it causes blurry vision in my right eye for quite a length of time after putting it on. It bothers me for about two hours so using it three times a day makes for a long discomfort. this is only day two of seven, so I have a ways to go. that noted, it's time to hit the shower clean up the eye and reapply the ointment for the second time today. Oh well, as long as it clears the infection, I can take the minor discomfort.

Sorry to hear about your father-in-law, Mohan. It is the same way in the Jewish faith, with the eldest son or son-n-law responsible for certain duties.
I shall keep you in mind re the award, but each day that passes makes it seem less likely that I shall be awarded this distinction, since it is now 27 days away. We shall see.

Good luck, Don. I recall that after my detached retina surgery I had to wear a patch for about two weeks, with drops in my left eye for a month. Made binocular vision difficult.

I shall, Caman, but the award is not something that I go out and win, but rather, something that is awarded to someone for a lifetime of work. We shall see.
Good night, and I shall speak with you tomorrow morning. Peace, my friend.

Good morning all.
Kids in school and I had my walk and some of JO nice breakfast.
Going to work for awhile and then go in to town for lunch, that
I didn't have time for on my birthday. Then I will go to the library
and work some there. I need a change of work environment.
Marc: A prayer will be a "go for it", so I include that for you.
...................
The fatherhood of God, His loving-kindness and beneficence are apparent to all.
In His mercy he provides fully and amply for His creatures and if any soul sins He
does not suspend His bounty. All created things are visible manifestations of His
fatherhood, mercy and heavenly bestowals. Human brotherhood is likewise as clear
and evident as the sun, for all are servants of one God, belong to one humankind,
inhabit the same globe, are sheltered beneath the overshadowing dome of heaven
and submerged in the sea of divine mercy. Human brotherhood and dependence
exist because mutual helpfulness and cooperation are the two necessary principles
underlying human welfare. This is the physical relationship of mankind.
There is another brotherhood, the spiritual, which is higher, holier and superior to
all others. It is heavenly; it emanates from the breaths of the Holy Spirit and the
effulgence of merciful attributes; it is founded upon spiritual susceptibilities.
This brotherhood is established by the Manifestations of the Holy One.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá

Morning all. The library sounds like a productive spot to work Camán. Good day for SAP as we announce we are now ranked in the top 1000 webs sites in the world at number 803 by Clustr Maps, our traffic data service. Also today a kitten who tries to quit smoking in our video and the humour of Henny Youngman.
