Rich, hard to say. But people out here tell me I bear a remarkable likeness
to Tantivy Mucker-Maffick. I'm like there, but not there. Know what I mean?


"yes, like that, you've got it--once or twice removed like that, but I
walked the same streets as you, read the same news, was narrowed to the
same spectrum of colors..."

That's why *my* copy of M&D will appear weeks before davemarc's, who's
trapped in a different fold of time. So to speak. I'm not saying he's
behind the times, but...

If you're good, I might just read you the first sentence or two (if, that
is, it's better than the opening of V-land).
