The Shangri-la Clubhouse

In that it appears that the Monster Thread has died a quiet but noble death, I propose that this thread take it's place. Hopefully, it shall contain all that was good about the Monster Thread -- a thread of peace and tranquility, of humor/humour, wit, satire,and silliness. It was an oasis from all the troubling news that is all too real in the world "beyond the horizon". It provided all who came a cool drink of water and a momentary respite.

Personally, the Monster Thread was a place where I could wish you all a peaceful good night, or greet you with a smile and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We cannot recreate the Monster Thread, just like it is not possible to recreate the original Woodstock. It is something that just happened, with no overt plan, no rhyme or reason. Yet, in my honest and sincere opinion, it served a valuable purpose for our community. Friendships were made in this thread, and only concerns and worries were lost, albeit momentarily.

Thus, I propose that this thread inherit all the good qualities of the Monster Thread, and, as the Phoenix before it, rise out of the ashes of technological "flames". I would also propose that the Shangri-la clubhouse have no leader (sorry Kosh for your one-term in office postion). Let it be free to wander where it might go, free from the talk of more serious and relevant matters that have their open debates in all the other threads.

RIP Monster Thread. You were of, by and for the people of ehMacLand.

In the words of William Wordsworth

"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

Just finished Deborah's secret turkey breast BBQ, quinoa and bok choy with her secret sauce. Quite the meal. I have finished cleaning up, so now it is time to get to my evening grading. Later ..........

Finished my evening grading and now it is time for some stargazing. Best to call it a night. See you all tomorrow. Paix, mes amis.

Morning, Don. Yes, it was clear here with little wind, which helps to keep the telescope steady.

Morning all. I shall have some fruit and home-made bagels ready for you when you rise to face the day. Enjoy. However, first comes coffee.

Good Day Shang!

Marc- your new house looks fantastic! Congratulations! When can we all come for a party?

Kacey is doing fine. She has been absurdly busy this past month with work and school, but is now in Bowen Island BC visiting with some floatie friends who, true to their nickname, live on a boat.

Hope all else are doing well too. Any other news?

Afternoon, Kim. Thanks for the compliment. Yes, you are always welcome to come for a visit .............. just be careful not to step on a doxie. :D

Glad to hear Kacey is doing well. Paix, mon amie.

Coming right up, mon ami. I have a friend who lives in Windsor and works at Wayne State Univ. in Detroit .................... and he longs for the mild summers here in St.John's.
Marc, we drove through the main campus the other day .... the thing is the size of a city. I was amazed at how large it is.

Not quite 4:00 pm here, but i could be persuaded...

Just returned from shopping at a local Costco, no matter what you want/need, everything is in huge packages. Must remember to bend at the knees and keep my back straight when lifting the container of laundry detergent!

They now have 80 inch TV's (Samsung I think) only $4,999.00. Would need my trailer to bring it home, - I wonder if I could connect it to my iMac?

Time to put the kettle on...
