April Fool's Day is Barque: Thomas Moore day

Barque: Thomas Moore celebrates its second anniversary today, April 1, 2007 a.k.a. April Fool's Day. We are the "poisson d'Avril" swimming inside the vessel. With our focus on contemporary wrtiter, Thomas Moore, we've tried to:
-- promote his speaking engagements,
-- link to his online writings, and
-- share related resources

To commemorate the beginning of our third year, we've established a new discussion/forum area where readers, drawn to Moore's work, may post observations, reflections, and reactions. We've enjoyed hearing from many of you during the last two years through individual email correspondence, and now would like to expand the sphere for your thoughts. The Barque: Thomas Moore Forum is at http://thomasmoore.ning.com. Registration is free. Required information is minimal. As we continue our journey together, please join the Barque: Thomas Moore Forum, introduce yourself and contribute to the discussion, or start your own discussion about Moore's themes. Moore's latest book, The Worth of Our Work: Feeling Stuck, Finding Purpose and the Alchemy of Profound Change will be available at the end of 2007. Let's prepare for its arrival by exchanging introductions now. As we enter our third year at Barque: Thomas Moore, we'll follow the urgings of Samuel Clemens:
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Happy Anniversary!
