Marta,
Eloquence as a hot knife gliding through the softest of butter,
dripping as it moves to a warm roll, that is how I would describe your
prose. Of course you are welcome, it would be any of our pleasure,
start with Lee for then you will be smarter than any of the rest of us
and thus we will need to visit you.

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!
