I'm not sure what to write about right now. So here are some odds'n'ends.
As many of you know, my dad does some freelance work as a literary agent. Here's a book he recently started working on... written by someone known to many of you... Pat Depaolo. I don't know him myself, but I do know some of his kids from CHS.
Here's the business card from a recently opened Cheshire business. It's located in the Watch Factory. It's a coffee shop and I give it a thumb's up.
Luther Turmelle of the NHR reported on what will happen with the $165,000 being given to the CPD from Elim Park.
There's a new scholarship being established in town for CHS grads. Details are here:
I think the Chamber of Commerce is having its annual awards dinner on January 24.
Anyone see the GOP debate on Thursday night? In discussing Iran, Presidential candidate Ron Paul mentioned the false information that led to the Gulf of Tonkin resolution... which led to war with Vietnam. I know I've mentioned it before, but the lies that led to the Vietnam War were largely exposed as a result of a letter to the editor from my dad to the New Haven Register. My point? Despite the fact that America was led to war in Vietnam under false pretenses... letters to the editor can make a difference. And they shouldn't take you more than 15-20 minutes to write. So speak up and be heard!
Someone at CTLP reported that Tony Nania has filed his paperwork for a primary contest with Dave Cappiello... for the chance to run against Chris Murphy.
What else is happening?

Speaking of China,
here's an actual recent news item:
"Beijing authorities have decreed that reincarnated Buddhist deities (such as the next Dalai Lama) must be Chinese citizens authorized by the religious-affairs bureau, meaning no reincarnations in exile."
The Official Memo might have
looked something like this:
TO: God, the Almighty, Eternal Father, Creator of the Universe, etc.
FROM: People's Religious Affairs Bureau
You are hereby ordered to alter Your laws of reincarnation in order to comply with this government policy. We know what is best for the People, not You.
Accordingly, You are ordered to limit the reincarnations of any deity to Chinese citizens who are members of the Communist Party and
who are not living abroad. Said reincarnations must be approved by the People's Religious Affairs Bureau at least one year prior to conception. Severe penalties will result from Your failure to strictly observe these government decrees.
(PS: We heard that You allowed Chairman Mao Tse Tung to descend into Hell for his murder of 9 million people. Expect another directive shortly from the State Security Bureau ordering You to release our beloved Chairman from Hell).
