Lee and John, several with that name, Ed and Bill Rising who once in
a while pops up, and those other Bills, and Dan Crutcher and
Jonathan and Harry and the likes of you, a Neal and some others who
hop in with tech noodles, and all you tech- nutties, even some women
in there take my breath away: I love to read your notes and you are
way beyond me, and yet I keep at it, gleaning this or that and fill
the empty brain spaces with Shakespeare and John Updike and a bit of
Horace and Ovid , even Herrick and Rilke as well as Jürgen Moltmann
and Susan Neiman mixed up in the stew, and am learning in the mix.
But I have sworn to myself: one of these days I will come visit and
look at these set-ups you have and then maybe I can build those Unix
castles and connect little stuff to big screens and really learn what
to do with my Lacie and this time machine which supposedly does its
job, if only I really knew what its job is supposed to be, and see the
grandeur of it all . I suppose in the Middle Ages they built castles
from stone, today they build them with wires and little connectors and
wireless , so you can't even admire them with eyes but have to imagine
them in your mind --- oh, how far have we come!
So, Lee, and Mr. Profile and Mr. Stone and Crutcher - don't be
surprised when you will have to receive a woman from the stone age to
whom you have to demonstrate your concoctions. And you better have
every cord labeled, so that i can trace the connections!
