Feliz Cumple Anos Hermoso Patrick!

A very happy annual observance of your nativity.

Your mother did a very good job, by the way.

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW~!

I forget to login for one day and look what happens...

I dearly love each and every one of you~!

To return some measure of kindness for your troubles, I post a pic taken with my new digital cam.  It's a Wisconsin Snow Monster getting ready to devour the building~!

(Really, this winter SUCKS and I don't mean that in a good way ....    ;)    )

Gotta show you all what I see from my bed each morning...  It's on my Monitor in my Avatar..
(This was one of the first pics that I took so excuse the focus, screen, dirty window, e t c. ,    8)    )

Good grief, Brother Patrick - that snow does look like you're having a bad winter!

I love the picture on your monitor, though...You've told me before about your view of the lake - now I can really 'see' it instead of just imagining!

It makes me happy every time I see your signature line...

Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong
.

I think I'll listen to the soundtrack at work today.

I found a website through a coworker called www.pandora.com.

It allows you to enter an artist or song and will 'create' a station based on its analysis of your entry.  I created a Gustavo station so now I get acoustic guitar with a Latin feel.  I also created a Neil Young, Old Man station, which is also quite good.  Check it out.

There is something about the Harbor & Lake when it's pink that takes on a "mother of pearl" effect.  I'm going to try and capture that if it ever warms up!

 Br. Patrick , merci beaucoup !


Did you create that image: it is so beautiful that it's like You!
And I wish to create some like that!
I copied it and will spread it with joy, OK ?

Here are more from my niece,
some maybe you can explain?

I am still confused about the 3 wise men?

Au revoir,

St. Nicholas is considered the religious Bishop whose name was westernized to Santa Claus.

Keeps religion out of the picture for Jews, Muslims, etc., who might still want to celebrate the Winter Solstice in some way.

Merci Br. Patrick !

But Nicholas was originally where from ?

There was an very interesting Tv show documentary last night that I watch and I was surprised !

Nicholas bones are thought to be maybe in two places in Italy?


But Nicholas was not from Pays Bas (Holland originally), but from Persia (?) maybe as I missed the start
of that program.

Wealthy do not usually give to poor, so why did Nicholas, because his parents dies when he was young was it?

May I wonder.... and get your views!

Au revoir,
hugs ami Br. Patrick !  Were you ever in Detroit?

I did meet a gay monk in Detroit once, and I know that he was kind like you;
I remember that he told: that he/they did not say mass until all, everyone was, well !
That is why I was asking if you ever was in Detroit, Michigan, USA !

Was he: you?

So, that was not you that I spoke with in person in Detroit then!


I used to go often to the gay bar there in Detroit,
it was the oldest in the USA!
Ever went there, may I ask?

So since your birthday is coming up, what do you desire?

Au revoir,

            Hello my favorite butterfly catcher.  Thanks for the message you left for me on WS.  It was much appreciated.  It is still rough.  I dont suppose
it will ever change for me.  It is like the change in weather.  It comes without you really knowing its coming on.  Just stick your head out the door, and its snowing or raining... :-*

I'm still around..  Have spent a lot of time enjoying? (can't believe I typed that) my new 26" HDTV.  I have an elaborate sound system that is due for a FIRMWARE upgrade.   Have to borrow a friends laptop to do that.  I'm off right now to the monastery to pick up the USB to Serial connector that was mistakenly shipped to my home address rather than here, at my hermitage.  It's 1:30AM, hope the roads aren't slippery!!  It's a 50 mile round trip.

I pray for all my special friends here on BetterMost every day.  So, I'm thinkin' of ya~!!

Good to hear from you.   How is your quest for light proceeding?  The firmware update was a disaster.  The adaptor came male pins and FEMALE screws.  It is supposed to be Male-Male to Female-Female. (Plug and Socket)   I'm going to write the manufacturer because I had to 'break' the adaptor to fix it.  The fixing broke something internal so the update didn't work.  BUT AT LEAST IT DIDN'T FRY MY FIRMWARE~!  SO, I'm happy about that.

So, so good to hear from you..

It's funny you just said that because I just had pancakes for breakfast!  Many convents of sisters make little bread wafers (pancakes?) that are sold to churches for communion.

And of course we have our other reason to be grateful and celebrate - it's now been five years since we joined BetterMost!
