Having received Hal's request for articles in respect to edition number 100, I am here on Sunday, sitting in Mass listening to Father Joe's umpteenth plea for money... and suddenly it comes to me: And Featherstone said to his disciples: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You must have faith in the Way. In the House of Wargaming there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have offered to prepare a place for each of you? If you need I will come again, and take you there myself, so that where I have gone, you will know the Way.' The disciple then said: "Teacher, we know not where you are going, how can we know the Way?' And Featherstone said unto him: " Wargaming is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to Wargaming except thru me, and Grant, and Young, and Wells, and Barker, and Bowden. If you know us, then so shall you know Wargaming." The disciple said: Teacher, show us Wargaming, and that will be enough for us." Featherstone said to him: " Have I been with you for so long a time, and you still not know the Way? Whoever has seen me, has seen Wargaming. How can you say show us Wargaming? Do you not believe that we are in Wargarning, and Wargaming is in us? These words I speak to you are not my own; these are the words of each of us who have accepted the Way. Therefore, I say to you, who believes in the Way will be the Wargamer I am, and even a better Wargamer than 1. The word of Featherstone, Thanks be to Don. P.S. : I gotta pay closer attention in Church!
