Family life is good. Siblings are great. Mom has gone to church a few times and Dad went with her once. I guess that is some type of progress. I choose not to delve or become too involved with their spiritual circumstances.
I have bought an interesting book. It is titled "Good Without God" by Greg Eppstein (Humanism Chaplain of Harvard University). It has started out well. A professor recommended it to me.
How are things with you? How have things been on the board?

I will check that book out sometime. Humanism interests me but my initial impressions are, that it might help intellectuals and those inclined to be highly contemplative, but humanism as a guiding, social principle is less likely to be effective to imbuing society with useful social tools for harmony. It often lacks passion and warmth.
