Hey Tom, welcome back. Really. There are some new people here; you're right. We are interested in what happens to you. My memory is very bad, so the first I saw your name I wasn't sure you were you; and I admit I then immediately thought Genesis, and especially when I saw a quote begin....... :o) I never played football. But when MJ watches Monday Night Football and all, I always hear about this world-famous "groin injury". It's sposed to hurt. Well, I had to wait 45 years, but I got one. It hurts. But MJ is taking me to Portland to see a big herd of Monet's paintings what flew into the museum. "If you can't stand up, we'll get you a wheelchair" she says. I love this woman. The last exhibit. well, we missed it, so we're being careful this time. She got a Monday off; and we headed north. It was Gauguin and Bonnard, from their early years together in France. A seminal(?) period of time and art that really fascinates me. It explains much of everything else. "Can't we get in?" Every museum, I'm pretty sure, closes Mondays. My favorite film is Will Vinton's first, about what the paintings in a museum do on the day off. It's "Closed Mondays." "WHERE are the paintings???" "On the plane. Over your head."

Tom, how nice to hear from you again! I love it when old DARians stop by to tell us what's happening in their lives. It sounds as if college is going well for you. We are in the middle of that whole process with CW and it's grueling. I've been surprised how many schools want you to choose a possible major before you apply; since CW boings from physics to chemistry to law to business to music to English to...just that question alone can hold up an application for days. And the essays. Why don't they agree on some generic essay? But nooooo-they're all different, so the big challenge has been to find some common thread so that he can use the same one for every school. He's achieved some remarkable transitions. I liked your Heraclitus quote. It sounded very Zen to me...yin/yangy. Immutable yet constantly changing(Can you tell I never took a philosophy course?) We have not had an adventure here in a long time--I think the last was when Rambi and Bub went to South America to take on Juan F. Gonzales Quiros Guillermo Hourquescos Saldiver (Juan YadaYada) and his gang and defeated the Giant Alien Chicken. it was a stirring,emotional saga filled with sex, violence, and interspersed with profound philosophical musings. Stay in touch---I would LOVE to hear (I think) what the life of a college freshman is like....
