Quote of the Day (Ecclesiastes, on Friendship)

“A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure.”
--Ecclesiastes 6:14

(Last night, the 30th reunion of my high school class at St. Cecilia High School in Englewood, N.J., was a blast! My 401K at work might have taken a beating, but the 100-strong from the class of ’78—and our pals from ’72, ’76, ’77, and ’79, as well as our faculty—proved to me all over again that my friends from way back are, unlike the dollar’s value, enduring and beyond price. Hopefully, in a few days I’ll have pictures and other written material up on this site. In the meantime, my thanks to every who showed up for this exhilarating event!)
