Sympathy for the Dibble

[Guest guest]

On the dry smooth-shaven green,

To behold the wand'ring Moon,

~ Milton, IL PENSEROSO

Best wishes to Hal in his work. You can write him at: halchaos@...

Burning bush REALLY said was:

I Am what Am.

Kurt mentions 'too much testosterone in Italy' (I'm too sexy for this

catwalk, the way I'm disco dancing, etc.)

Kurt,

When we set out to interpret a conscious attitude, it is always helpful to

business. Thank ye gods and goddesses.
