Friam Winter Potluck

Hi, everybody,

George and Sherry have kindly offered their house for a FRIAM Winter Potluck on Saturday February 15^th at 5 pm. That’s a week from THIS Saturday. Please bring your spouses and spousal equivalents and anybody else in your family who has wondered what the heck FRIAM is about. Please, also, spread the word among any friammers who might not closely follow “the congregation news letter”.

Here are the details:

FRIAM Winter Potluck,

Saturday February 15^th at 5 pm.

Home of: George Duncan, Sherry Kelsey

1249 Camino De Cruz Blanca, Santa Fe, NM 87505

which is half-mile above St John's College

just past a speed bump and on the left side.

Land: (505) 983-6895

Mobile: (505) 469-4671

Bring food to share. Bring what you like to eat, particularly if you have special eating needs. Please email me (“reply” will work) to let me know how many are coming and what you are likely to bring, so I can balance the menu, if necessary. My phone number is 505-984-9112. It’s a land line. My wife’s name is Penny.

Please come. Last year’s party was great fun.

Wimberlys(2) will come if possible. Depends on where 8yo Matthew is. Bringing him would be problematic for all. We will bring a dessert.

Dear Friammers,

The Conclave is on schedule. Still negotiating to get Cardinals Standish and Schiltz in from Australia and Peru (?) respectively. We will, of course, have to elect a new FRIAM pope before we disband on Saturday. Which color smoke do we put up George’s chimney? I never can remember. Perhaps we should set up a computer in a side room so people can call in from the diaspora? Renew old acquaintances.

As the person who will be justifiably be to blame we end up like dogs fighting over Merle’s two loaves of fine bread, I am hoping that we can have a little chat tomorrow about who’s bringing what. It’s those long tails on the binomial distribution I worry about. Hard to eat a long tail.

Thanks for thinking of me! As you might have gathered, I won't be
attending. I'm up to my ears in crocodiles (we don't have aligators in
Australia).

It would be nice to visit Santa Fe again at some point - I always told
my other half what a nice town it is, and she's been quite
envious. We're talking about switching to a peripatetic lifestyle once
my current work commitments dry up again, so maybe then...

Cardinal? The only cardinal I know has red feathers and a conical beak made for cracking seeds. And by the way, it's Ecuador, not Peru. In any case, in honor of Cardinal Standish, and as someone who lives two miles south of the equator, I will break out in song: "I come from the land down... er... well slightly, down under..."

Thanks for the Geographical correction.

What’s it like to see the sun at the Zenith more or less every day. Occasionally we get the moon at the zenith and it makes the world seem perfect.

Re: friam Winter POTLUCK

Aleph 0, Aleph 1, Aleph 2,... etc. are all infinite cardinals. The continuum hypothesis is that there are no cardinals between consecutive members of that sequence.

I will translate your witticisms for the unintiated, Barry. Did I get it right?
