What I've been doing lately? a) reading "Love in the time of cholera" - goes slow, picking up speed b) getting one big (for me) robotic system finished for delivery (ego play in the sense of "Let's create facts" and then watch in amusement the upper echalon inhouse scratch their heads) c) watching Pt price - any special news, Jay? d) thinking now and then of your worst-case ("think dirty") scenario from some time ago A little more on d - I found it half amusing, half irksome: curtailing a possibly too expensive way of living is a very much prosaic venue. Wrought with land mines, if other persons are involved. Like Marie Antoinette:"Crying for bread! Why, they could eat cakes instead" - and then Loui XV got his head chopped off. Fact is of course, it means life on a slippery surface - "where will this all end?". My feeling is that having a certain net to fall back onto (even if its illusionary, like "we can allways go to where we came from" or "we have kids to depend on" or "my granddad went through much worse" ) is at least a psychological help (until such moment, when the end of the slope has been reached). There's so many things we can dispense with - this is what fasting is about -. I was rich and I was poor, and I like the former better still holds. Rich or poor in the sense of having real alternatives. If it takes money or guts or peace of mind. Maybe reading some book on the life of Gauthama (going on purpose away from judaaeo-christian lighthouses) would be enlightening (pun intended). Let the force be with you, Jay. dj
