I had this rather odd thought last night and wondered what you all would choose? I had the thought while listening to Stairway to Heaven, Led Zep. I really think it's a great song, and deserves to be at the top of the greatest songs of all time countdowns, which used to be a let down 'cause it was always so expected every new years'. But really, it is a piece that encapsulates varied and deep emotions and styles, and without giving it too much thought, I think I would choose that to share with folks in the 14th century, and give them a glimpse of the future.
we have now passed the point of no return. And the parliamentary support for it came from all parties. We are now committed to a war which has no relation whatever to any Canadian need. We are in a war that nobody has a reason for. There has been no serious discussion of it - and very little public information.

I had two interesting dreams in the past couple of weeks.
1. I dreamt my cousin and I ate all the ice cream at Dairy Queen and Dairy Queen closed down. A few days later Dairy Queen actually did close down and it looks like it is permanent.
2. I dreamt that one of my male friends grew long hair and braided it and then when I saw this friend next he shaved his head.
If the trends of the past decade (1996-2007) continue unchanged, I wonder what the United Church of Canada will be like at its 100th Anniversary in 2025?
I have graphed what's happened so far, 1925 to 2007 (the latest year for which data is published in our annual Year Books), and then projected ahead to 2025.
