Miraculous Medal Mention:
somebody in one of these threads mentioned a Miraculous Medal
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miraculous_Medal mentioned in Vineland as
a nice nod to GR - some of this Catholic lore is Really interesting!

I finally found it in Vineland: p 337 but now, to find it in GR?

Posting at work IS dodgy, and not my usual practice (though I've been
known to do so on a break at times)

I like workplaces where they don't care what you do as long as the
work gets done excellently, but ya know, spending a lot of your time
there actually _doing_ the work does help in that regard...although
(and many bosses agree with this as well) a certain amount of slack
time is essential for achieving serendipitous results

Now if one worked for the NSA or someplace, the section person for the
p-list would have to spend work time analyzing the postings of
it...what an excellent job...sigh...
