[Magdalen] Eternal Father, Strong to Save

[John Robison]

Since Mom Died, I've come to appreciate him more and more.
One of my friends says its more like to confirmed bachelor brothers.
He's on the phone now with some one he worked with in the Gunner Office.
He's become quite agitated, for him,
This would be easier in some ways if we had an Ambassador and/or SecNav.

"Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic
uninterestingness as an intellectual position." - John Updike

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life:
The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that
often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading
to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with
the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."  ~John Rogers
