sometimes prodigal threads return bringing interesting new insights
I love the idea of prodigal threads. We've had St TarBoard's (boarding school) and the TarBoard Arms (pub) and now we have TarBoard, as a meeting hall, church, temple, synagogue or mosque. (Delete as personally appropriate.) Members have different approaches. Ed Kiser focuses on AR's text, John N on boat-building and Quantum mechanics, Peter H wonders whether we wander too far, but our host looks forward to our return...
