GRGR3: cute meet

[Henry Musikar]

Good question, Chris! GR has been so thoroughly integrated with the 
rest of my life that it sometimes makes it difficult to separate it 
from the "reality" of other works. I can picture the "cute meet" 
phrase in film noir, Bogey narrating.

I can tell you that when one has read GR and then recognizes that one 
is experiencing a "cute meet" it is exTremely meta (fict and phys). I 
even mentioned it during the "meet" to the woman that I was meeting.
Whew! Not recommended for the faint of heart.

Hello out there, Mrs. Calabash (wherever you are)!
