   December 24, 2004.   
      
      
   A boy ravaged from the 2004 Tsunami, from the country of Nias.   
      
   The day before Christmas from South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, USA at   
   Thatcher's Park, just a five minute walk (or less) from my then current   
   home. The Boston Red Sox had just won their first World Series in 86 years   
   but not without a heavy toll. Ms. Victoria Snelgrove, a Emerson College   
   student and innocent bystander outside Fenway Park lost her life after the   
   Red Sox defeated the New York Yankees for the American League Championship.   
   She was hit by a pepper ball projectile directly in the eye. I knew this   
   woman personally as well as Leonda knew too. We had met by fate at the   
   Prodigal Son earlier that year during Wednesday nights. Victoria was   
   employed at a local restaurant that also supplied live Jazz music as a   
   waitress.   
      
   She spoke of being interested in journalism, was immensely polite and   
   friendly and most of all, highly intelligent with a great warm sense of   
   humor. The first reports from the scene was that a Boston Police officer on   
   horseback with a last name of Middle Eastern descent had shot her. The   
   official report was that of an officer with a French descent shot her. The   
   same night as Victorias untimely death, someone torched a gray/silver small   
   SUV, matching the description of Janet & Chris Morris's own vehicle. Those   
   two persons own and operate a Non Lethals Company and are involved in pepper   
   ball munitions. That occurred by a Burger King in Boston that night.   
      
   For the record, Leonda and I really do not care what a persons sexual   
   orientation is and I state that for "rumor" abounded that -someone- much   
   like Victoria and -someone- much like Leonda had a lesbian affair. *I* can   
   attest, Leonda is not bi-orientated at all. True life "art" as it is   
   intended is not always pretty, I know, I had seen a photo of the two other   
   women myself, presented to me via a binary group nearly the same time but   
   not the same day as the killing round.   
      
   Weeks before Christmas, a small fishing boat from the state of Rhode Island   
   was lost at sea, no survivors were ever found.   
      
   I had taken my digital camera to Thatcher's Park near 6 a. m. EST December   
   24, 2004 and took three photographs. Later that night, without written words   
   and music, sitting in front of an Electronic Condenser Microphone made by   
   Sony, I captured my feelings and thoughts about the months behind me and the   
   people who touched our lives. The result, "Merry Christmas To You".   
      
   By midnight that night, I had the honor to watch Pope John Paul II give his   
   last major appearance. Earlier during the day I had already posted the three   
   photos to alt.binaries.photos.original. To my own delight, astonishment,   
   amazement and tiredness, Pope John Paul was presented a laptop computer and   
   his eyes widened like no other time in recent history. Along with his rather   
   big smile, he raised his head and why? (Wishful thinking here) He was   
   looking at the center photo. Now remember, I was using a 4X3" screen from a   
   T. V. tuner - in card.   
      
   Sitting down in front of the 27" T. V. in the living room, the Pope was   
   being wheeled across the church and he motioned for a stop. The live video   
   signal became "blocky" and then, John Paul looked over to his left and gave   
   a blessing. My own personal blessing straight to my own face. Of course, to   
   anyone and everyone anywhere watching this live event as well.   
      
   Somewhere in the Indian Ocean, God (insert your Gods name here please)   
   decided to make the biggest Tsunami people world wide, living then and now   
   had ever experienced. I watched in utter horror and sorrow and remember   
   crying on my way back from Thatcher's Park days later, here by the south   
   side of the Atlantic Ocean, in the North East of the U. S. A.. 300,000 plus   
   human lives were taken.   
   Hurricane Katrina & Rita 2005 Southern USA., the human losses didn't have to   
   be. 3,000 plus live, gone.   
      
   May it never happen again.   
      
   About the only thing I could do on foot was go directly to the local Thai   
   restaurant in Hyannis and present freely a long list of free software links   
   on paper to enable those here and elsewhere instant communications.

   -Lyrics-   
      
   Well this time, I know   
   I'm not coming home   
   But I'm thinking of you more than ever   
   These waves are crashing down   
   All I can remember is   
   Lying on the ground   
   I know your prayers are there for me   
   Would you please add someone else's as well   
   Might be a long, long time before we see each other again   
   But at least this time, Christmas time   
   I know I am at home with you again   
   Please remember I so much as dared care for more than just you   
   And from what I know   
   That you don't know of   
   Many people like me   
   Who live the same way as you   
   Please remember this moment my friend   
   My true love   
   I am coming home again   
   Merry Christmas   
   To you   
      
   I am coming home   
   Merry Christmas   
   To   
   You
