Technical difficulties
Do you remember growing up when, in the middle of your favorite TV program, a screen would suddenly appear that said "We are experiencing technical difficulties"? I really did not like that message, but I guess it was necessary. I hope you have noticed that very few blogs have been published in this space for a few weeks - the reason is once again some technical difficulties. We are trying to work them out, and when we do, my goal is to publish something every weekday at least, early in the day. Thank you for being a reader, and we hope to do better in the near future. Until then, stand by...

Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock Inscription

This spot marks the final resting-place of the Pilgrims of the Mayflower. In weariness and hunger and in cold, fighting the wilderness and burying their dead in common graves that the Indians should not know how many had perished, they here laid the foundations of a state in which all men for countless ages should have liberty to worship God in their own way. All ye who pass by and see this stone remember, and dedicate yourselves anew to the resolution that you will not rest until this lofty ideal shall have been realized throughout the earth.
