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."

Morning all. Gracie had to go outside early this morning, so I figured that it was best to feed them and let them all outside. A bit early for breakfast, so I shall get the coffee brewing.

A quiet day here at The Shang. I am sitting out on the back deck of The Cafe Chez Marc overlooking the pond and having a fresh cup of coffee? Anyone want to join me??? Later, I shall take a walk through the garden outside of The Clubhouse, and stand at the monument of Jason Jinglestars, the person who first brought dachshunds to Canada.

mmmm coffee, sorry that I wasn't back yesterday for a second cup Marc, had the pedagogical seminar and it took longer than I expected. How are you this morning??
Missed you there, Kim. Glad you are back. Today starts the real grading of finals, so I shall be busy. How are you today?

Almost 4PM, so is anyone interested in some High Tea? If not, I shall go back to grading finals.

Quite busy... all the work I was ignoring in order to do school is demanding attention.
I hear you, Sonal. The house work is being pushed aside while I grade. Luckily, Deborah is out of the country at a conference. My son cooked supper, which is fine with me.

Bonne chance, mon amie.

Going to pull the pin on grading and relax for a bit. Very quiet here today.

Time to call it a night. See you all tomorrow morning. Paix, mes amis.

Morning all. Way too early for breakfast and even for coffee. Gracie is getting up at odd hours these days. She might be pregnant. We shall see.

The sun is up so I shall at least start the coffee brewing. Breakfast shall come a bit later.

Morning Marc, a bad day for me yesterday. Was rushed to ER at 6:00 a.m. with heart complications. Endured 9 hours of treatment before I was stable enough to be released. Ann and Crystal spent the entire day with me in CCU, so no fun for them either. Very weak today so have to take it easy before I begin a battery of tests a week from today. SAP did not get updated until late afternoon, but am back on track and today's issue is up.

Truly sorry to hear this, Don. For you, heart complication are serious. I do hope you are feeling well today and that the tests will prove negative. Bonne chance, mon ami.

Morning Marc! Woke up and found out on the web that school is cancelled for my teenage daughter. Silly little freezing rain, really? Breakfast for me when you're done, I'll need it to survive my daughter's day home.
Breakfast coming right up, Todd. When we get freezing rain at this time of year it tends to build up to an inch or so, so everything tends to shut down.

"Wanna hear a joke about potassium?"

"No."

"Oh. K."
