The Abbey at Peace

As the Abbot says, "Idle hands do not contribute to the overall profit-maximizing nature of the enterprise" (or something like that). So we keep busy. Here are some recent activities:

The 2005 Pentathlon found the Abbey goofing off (sometimes called "judging": those who have time, make; those who don't, judge). But judging proved to be too much work, so we'll have to try again for 2007:

• Plans for 2007 Pentathlon

And we've been immortalized in print recently (our take on the maxim, "it pays to write your own press"). The September 2004 edition of Ars Caidis was all Abbey articles (and we've had a couple of other items in the January 2005 and April 2005 editions as well). For a list of efforts:

• A bit of show and tell on our efforts

  
  

And not surprisingly, down in the Abbey's electronic catacombs, we have archives of some of our earlier projects and get-togethers

• Previous projects, pentathlons and pack meetings
