Laughter is timeless.  Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever.

Walt Disney

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

J.R.R. Tolkien

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family.  Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.

Jane Howard
