Yes, Chris, I know. : )

 But A) I was there when it was a dysfuctional family of 12 ( Iowa City)--
Now it's a dysfunctional family of hundreds-- It makes me feel like a
random patriach in a Bergman film.
 B)It's the best part of my day, this escape from Faxing, press releasing,
replying to work email, courting contributors...

 It's like  a written sorbet to see  the wit and wisdom of M. Sylvain, or
Wochner or Gossett, cleansing the mental palate. Also, it's GREAT
procrastination.
