Sounds really interesting, thanks. (And in an example of thread-

Paul Farmer, and found it fascinating.
The main subject of Soul of a New Machine is a man named Tom West,
with whom I worked at Data General. Tom died early last summer. A
month later, there was a small memorial gathering at his house. Tracy
Kidder was there, and I enjoyed talking to him. My wife has been to
Haiti doing volunteer work, has read Mountains Beyond Mountains, and
her physician is a close associate of Dr. Farmer. So Tracy and my
wife had a nice long conversation about all that.
I'm also hoping you're a Red Sox fan.
Yes. But not as enthusiastic as I once was. We don't watch TV in our
house, but I listen to about 100 games each year on the radio. I love
listening to baseball games on the radio. I love baseball in general.
