On This Day (Was Re: Pascal Plot)

[Robert Fuhrel]

     Hey, Folks--Now today is a legitimate On This Day, considering that 
     Jack Kerouac was born on this day in 1922 and Charlie Parker died on 
     this day in 1955.  Think about the numerological implications of 33 
     years!  Why Christ, I'm listening to Jack's piece on Bird right now!

Ah, Spring. I don't know about y'all, but I have very strong mixed 
feelings about Spring. Drives me crazy. In Spring, a young man's fancy 
turns to thoughts of Passover. (Just a moment, I'm getting to the 
Pynchon part.)
     
At a Seder (the Passover meal) people sing a song called "Dayenu." The 
title means something like "It would have been enough." Such as "It 
would have been enough if God had lead the Jews out of Egypt," but He 
also did this, that, and the other thing, each of which "would have 
been enough." Wellll that's how I feel about GR. The poetry would have 
been enough. The sex, drugs, movies and jazz. The adventure would have 
been enough. Jessica/Roger or Slothrop/Tantivy would have been enough. 
You get the idea.
     
Now, if only...
