Sherman Santiwiwatthanaphong, of Thailand, is one of the leading golfers on the Symetra Tour.  The Symetra is a second level women's professional tour operating in the USA.
Ms. Santiwiwatthanaphong is a good golfer and finished 6th in money winnings on that tour this year, collecting over $77,000.00.  At our next family gathering, after a few drinks, we will have a contest to see who can best pronounce her name.

The Vidocq Society is an exclusive crime-solving club located in Philadelphia, PA.  Members are current and retired professionals in a myriad of crime solving - forensic fields.  The Society offers their services to law enforcement agencies free of charge to help solve cold cases over two years old in which the victims were not involved in criminal activities.

The Voynich manuscript is a 250 page handwritten book with some pages missing.  It was discovered in 1912 by a bookstore owner in Northern Italy.  It is written in a language that we do not recognize and which 'code breakers' from around the world are unable to decipher.  The paper of the book was tested and it carbon dates to the early 15th century.  One of the great mysteries of the world.

November is the "cruelest month".  Gordon Lightfoot wrote his famous song, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", in 1975 right after the ore-hauling ship sank in Lake Superior.  It is the best story in song I know.  Enjoy!
