OK. So maybe it was a mojito moment. I'm very accommodating to these sorts of things. I mean, there is only one you. (Lesser mortals would say Thank God. I don't happen to believe in him.... see my Ralph RapeReed post above) Right? That's what makes me think it's worthwhile to carry on with a property attorney who takes things to........what the apotheosis of reducto ab absurdo ? I'm clueless. Just watched last night a Harvard academic (on PBS, where else?) going back to his roots in Africa trying to sort out the slave trade. Boy, oh boy, what a hash of inadequate moral compasses. Not like you or me, eh, dear? It's a real black and white sichhiAchun. I'm blockheaded, you're whitewash. That's abuut the size of it as Sale & Pelltier would say, eh? Like, no Angolans competing in the ice dance competition. What's that all abuut? No refrigeration is what my sources tell me. Anahoo, I'm winding down. Not like a Swiss cuckoo clogged artery or nuttin. Just trying to be Austrian. It's a good thing. They have the best down hill racers, sort of like your heros Van Hack and Schum-peter. Talk about engaging in a race to the bottom. It seems to be a national theme with them. And they don't even have to put up with the SAD in Scandinavia. What gives them the right to be so dour about the human condition anyway? And what new condition is creeping up on me today? Anahoo, it's been lovely corresponding with you and I wish you all the best. By the way, do you agree with some of my correspondents that the total venal and amoral irresponsibility of the derivatives department at JPM/Chase/Whatever is about to destroy the entire world's financial system in a cataclysmic paroxysm of gargantuan proportions that is totally unprecedented in the history of humanity and that the work for the moment, i.e. the attitude of Tobagans, not to mention the tobaganners of more northern climes is an appropriate response to be big kahuna abuut to land on a shore near you? No? Me either. I'm at 3,200 feet or abuut 1,000 meters, so I'm assuming a Noah-nothing approach. Howza buut uuu? I'm not sure how to end this. Prufrock says a whimper is in order. I'm thinking abuuut "all the best", or "have fun while it lasts" or "at least we weren't surprised" or..... well, I'm sane, mostly, so I know what happens, so I bid you... Great success with that divorce bidness, Your Pal PS: Feeling Romantic? I'd love to escort you to the H.L. Menchen Memorial Library. It's far more illuminating than anything the Bushes want to share.....
