Technique, etc.

[Jules Siegel]

Good morning, world!

What a great day here in Cancun! We had a big storm yesterday and today
everything is washed clean and hanging out to dry, smiling and nodding
in the breeze. Lots of migrating birds beginning to show up, too. The
lagoon is royal purple, the sky a misty blue with lots of pale
cotton-puff clouds. When I hear the word culture, I reach for my bathing
suit.

Typo in Pynchon article:

> The postmaster told me one day that she had her own post office _box,_

There are a couple of others, which I forgot to note and now cannot find
again. Anita is going to proof-read the article. I also realized that
the links don't work because they have not been absolutized.

Can we have a show of hands here:

Shall I post corrections? The revised text?

I would also like to begin posting in HTML, as some of these things are
getting a bit complex and will be easier to read and understand
on-screen if I can use full editorial style including subheads and so
on.

Yes? No?

I thought also that people like to see what Chrissie looked like when
this was all going on. I have a couple of exquisite pictures taken of
her at the commune after Faera was born by Ron Thal, then one of
Playboy's top photographers. No, Chrissie is not nude, although there
are a whole bunch of others of naked lads and ladies being free to be
me. John Umbach, a New York photographer, has an *unreal* photograph of
her taken for her portfolio when she was going to sign with Eileen Ford,
too.

Post? Don't post?

I sent the article as an attachment, instead of putting the code in the
body of the message.

Care? Not care?

Chrissie gave me a little blue velvet neck pillow with this embroidered
slogan: "Don't worry. Be crabby!" She's a Cancer with Moon in Scorpio,
Leo rising. When we lived in the commune, she embroidered Cancer symbols
on all my shirts. Girls would ask me, "Are you a Cancer?" No, Libra. "So
why the Cancer symbol?" My wife put it there. Very effective. Neither of
us wore wedding rings, but I might as well have been branded. The
computer that I am typing this on was a gift from her husband, Bob
Wexler. When they visit Faera, they always bring lavish gifts for all of
us -- even for Anita. This time Robert bought me a new modem and 16 MB
of RAM. Anita's mother was visiting, too, as well as Mary and Amy, two
of Chrissie's friends. On my 61st birthday, Oct. 21, Robert took all of
us to lunch in the hotel's palm-thatched beachfront restaurant. The
birthday cake was chocolate truffle and the kids were wearing the new
clothing that Robert and Chrissie and Anita's mother had brought them.
Omnia vincit amor.

Hail holy light, creator of all that is!
