X-Message-Number: 31113 From: Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2008 08:56:55 EDT Subject: Chris Manning...cool comment In a message dated 10/11/2008 5:01:49 AM Eastern Daylight Time, writes: October 24 is my birthday so I will be there in spirit (pun intended). (The intervening logistics of 12,000 miles preclude me from attending.) Great comment by Chris Manning above. LOL! Most of us could use a laugh these days. My spirit (not discarnate soul...take this word in the "spirit" in which it is written) has been struggling, like many thoughtful readers, with depression and despair, not my usual mode of being. We must call forth our best self to the challenges of the day.) I have enjoyed and appreciated Chris Manning's postings at other times as well. There are some truly wonderful people in this still astoungingly small community/special interest group. Attending conferences and gatherings is confirmatory of this fact, and I would encourage all of you to attend cryonics gatherings and especially conferences as you are able to do so. History will show that we are not kooks...just a bit ahead of the learning curve of most of our fellows.
