a riot Dave,and gives a major message.I better read SlaughterHouse Five again. Read it when it came out,but it just isn't vivid anymore,in fact,outside of the Dresden Horror,i am drawing a blank.(Vonnegut's real-life event,of course) Have you read "Hocus-Pocus" yet--i have it in my to read pile,which as always is mountainous in height:) My 30th promise to read "Moby Dick" during the summer has once again failed.Max p.s. i am addicted to trivia,in fact my dentist keeps offering to give me an anti-trivia antibiotic.He says i am actually infected with triviacus bacillus. He offered this when through cotton and tools in my mouth i slurred "do you know what became of Claribell(sp?)??" With that in mind,i was just perusing my people bookmarks and noted 94 out 97 are still posting--that's remarkable i think. of the three that are no longer posting.Edwarda is deceased(a sudden illness, i have to get back to see if mystery was ever solved) Sandra,from Florida,and her tales of her pet iguana that she used to walk on the beach,with it wearing a small sombrero,has vanished. And,StreetWalker--who's last post tells how he lost everything.

Read that book as a young lad, before investing was part of my reality, and completely missed the passage you referenced. Just might have to read it again to find the many other gems I surely wasn't able to fully appreciate the first time through. He is in fact my favorite author of all time and I selfishly grieved his passing as I thought there would be no further works to look forward to. Perhaps I just need to look backwards to them and let the time-space continuum take care of itself. So it goes...
