It's been a great couple of weeks.
Last Saturday was the amazing anniversary of L. Ron Hubbard's birthday at the Shrine Auditorium. Included were videos of the opening of Ideal Organizations in Rome, Washington, Quebec and other major centers of the world. The comments of national and local leaders attending the openings were very telling - the common theme being, "You help every one, no matter their race, nationality or station in life" and "You don't only fight for your own religion but for all religions."
The following day I went for a bike ride and got my couple of hours in the sun - during which time I wrote more poems for my future book on poems about reincarnation.
It was a great week at the college - I got my highest apprenticeship and internship completions in a week at 8 and highest ever apprenticeship "task" completions at 25. Beside my own post, the whole college did great and we were given a wonderful luch at our weekly staff meeting.
Friday night I had a visit from neighbor, Sue Hart, to show me the magnificent book she has just published on raw food recipes. It's about 12" by 18" with all glossy colored photos she took herself of the amazing dished she created. It is done just in time as a gift for her daughter at her bridal shower.
I had some fun emails from my Japanese friend, Taka, in New Zealand this week and news from my niece, Christine there about the amazing accomplishments of her teenage son, Ben. I had news from my brother, Warren there also and got the usual cheery emails from my Kiwi friend Lynnaire. I received other communications from friends around the USA making weekly contact.
This Saturday I did my bike ride and sunning during which time I wrote poems. Then in the evening I went to Mimi's Restaurant for a very enjoyable dinner and chat with my good friend Sue Z. We always have a great time together.
Sunday I did a second bike ride for this weekend and had more sunning while writing more poetry. I have a great suntan already and Spring has just begun. It's almost time to start my long weekend outings again.
I just shot off an email to my friend, Elena, in Moscow to ensure that she is OK - having just seen a TV report that there were terrorist explosions in the subway there. I know she uses the subway so am hoping she and her friends and family are all fine.
That's it until next update.
Have a good week all!
Love,
Barry

Another two weeks has gone by to March 16, 2010
Hi friends and family members,
Life is going along and it appears that our heavy Los Angeles rainy period may be mostly over as we are getting lovely warm sunny days and its still almost a week before Spring officially starts.
We made the change to daylight savings time here this last weekend - early Sunday morning.
Things are going along well with my Apprentice and Intern Supervisor post at Hubbard College. I just completed a week of affluence statistics and it looks like it will be good this week too.
I have had a slight change of schedule at the College - I now have the full weekend off but now work Wednesday night and Thursday morning in addition to my 1 to 6 pm schedule each weekday.
So this last Saturday I was able to have brunch with my friend, Suesan W., and we had a great chat about all manner of things we share interest in.
Sunday I went for an hour bike ride and then had a couple of hours baking in the warn sun. In the evening I had a pleasant visit from my friend Joe L. I don't see him so much while his parents are visiting him from New York. They are due to go back in April.
I am currently in the middle of doing my yearly taxes - (I have an Avatar marching on Washington in the internet FairTax tax revolt - along with about 200,000 others [so far]. It will culminate in an actual march on Washington on tax day, April 14.)
This morning I was woken from sleep by an earthquake - only 4.4 on the scale but it was enough to wake me up and shake me around a bit. No damage done anywhere.
Tonight I filled out the Census forms and will mail them back in the morning.
Saturday night is the huge L. Ron Hubbard birthday anniversary at the Shrine Auditorium. I will go with my friend Sue Z.
That about catches up with recent events - more later.
Love,
Barry
