They do exist

The Priory of Sion exists, at least according to Google. As much as the Rosicrucians, Knights Templar and Freemasons exist. Which is to say, I'm not sure if we're talking about an uninterrupted line of esoteric knowledge, here.

While looking for it, I came across some sales site that mentioned "Leonardo Da Vinci watches." Yeah, I can see the Vitruvian Man on a watch. Makes perfect sense. While trying to find a link to a pic of Vitruvian Man, I came across something called "Kabbalistic Tree of Life." Seems I sort of knew that in the back of my mind, but 1 of Wright's stained glass designs is called the "Tree of Life." Judging by the look of the illustration, I finally understand why. Ok, backing slowly away from freaky esoteric interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright....

To a coupla people out there:
There've been some posts where I thought about writing something, but then a day or two passed, and then I wonder if you'd even notice. So I thought I'd get it out of the way at once.
livsmama, I miss ya, but I know you've got to do what you've got to do, including staying off the computers until you're no longer nauseous ('tho I've heard that the proper term should be "nauseated").
coconuthead, I hope your trip to see your family went better. I really think your grandmother wanted you there.
kudzublossom, I hope you're doing well after your huge news a while ago. I didn't reply b/c I'm still getting to know you.
jujupees and clan--thinking about you. If everyone I talked to had their way, you would be eating good food and drinking good wine for a month.
