Drifting Along
Last July I lost my job. It was unfortunate that the partners I supported had no say in whether or not I had a job. I was told by a former co-worker that they were blindsided when they found out I had been let go. That decision had been made by someone in another state who knew nothing about what I did and who I supported. Heck, they'd never even met me.

Paranormal Pioneers and other Strange Phenomena
Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900) Henry Sidgwick was born at Skipton in Yorkshire, where his father, the Reverend W. Sidgwick (d. 1841), was headmaster of the local grammar school. Henry himself was educated at Rugby and at Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1859 he received several academic distinctions and in the same year he was elected to a fellowship at Trinity, and soon afterwards became a lecturer in classics there, a post he held for ten years. In the same year, deciding that he could no longer in good conscience declare himself a member of the Church of England, he resigned his fellowship. He retained his lectureship, and in 1881 was elected an honorary fellow.

Frederic Myers (1843-1901) Frederic Myers was a professor of classics at Cambridge University in England. One overriding interest characterized this man was a passionate curiosity about the meaning of human life. But instead of poring over theological writings and philosophical speculation, as many of his contemporaries did, he felt that if human life did have a purpose, then it could be discovered in only one way: through the study of human experiences.
