Things Twins, Links

Today I added "Things Twins, Links" on this blog.  It is to your right.  I will list any links on twins which I think might be of interest to readers of Twins in a World of Singletons.  I have started off with links to articles on Nancy Segal.  From this researcher and author, I have learned much about what it means to be a twin.  Although she dispels much of the mystique surrounding twins, she illuminates the mystery that twins truly present to the world.  Enjoy reading!

Reflections of a Lone Twin...

What's New on My Blogs?

October 2011
Here's the latest goings-on with my blogs"
George in Thailand
Since several members of my family have asked how I was doing with all the flooding in Thailand, I have posted some observations and three videos. In Meet My New Thai Friend I introduce you to Pramool. Charming!
Twins in a World of Singletons
I haven't made any new postings recently. When I have any new thoughts or feelings or observation on what it means to be a twin, I will post them.
The Lotus Sutra and Me
I haven't made any new postings for awhile, but I have plenty of notes for when I do.
George W. Ross, MEd
Nothing new here either. Since this is primarily for those interested in my background and experience in my professional life as an educator. As I am retired and not teaching any longer, I have nothing new to add!
A note about how I prepare to write for my blogs: I carry a little notebook with me, and whenever something that I think you'll like or that I simply want to share, I write about it in a new post.

That's all, Folks!

A Mystical Bond

My Posting of July 19, 2011, contains an article on my twin and me titled, A Mystical Bond. It was written by Sandra Boodman as a human interest story. I would be donating bone marrow to Jimmy in a protocol conducted by the National Institutes of Health. The study was to determine how effective AZT, the only medication at the time for AIDS patients. We joined the study mainly to participate in research that might lead to more effective treatments for patients with AIDS. There was a possibility that the study might help Jimmy; however, we all knew that the chances of his benefiting personally from the study were, as Jimmy said, "slim and fat, since the expressions 'slim chance' and 'fat chance' mean the same thing even though slim and fat are opposites." Jimmy liked those kind of linguistic canundrums. In the end, Jimmy got an added six months of life. We were both happy about that.
