"Give me a T"...."give me an R".........etc.
We are in a very interesting, very full of deep meanings, section of Against the Day, imho.
Let's all read and reread the section, Paul's (and Dave's) finds, allusions and ....yeoman work and great subtleties, imho.
And the upcoming section, full of connections...within AtD and within all of P's work, I think, yet with NEW themes and perspectives, maybe?
A-And find something to say?......too few talking?..........
"Give me a P"...........
'Ev'ryone!----"

Well, golly gee Mark, I'd love to, but what with extended blogging over at:
http://tinyurl.com/3bkr8q
and as good old boy Prospero would put it, an absorbtion in secret
studies, I've been moving a little outside the path the P-List is on.
So my explications oughta be really traverse from here on out.
More and more I'm seein' the Anarchist/Alchemist/Kabbalist [see,
you can, you have to say that about Against the Day, it's inescapable.
it's the bread and wine of the book, the ritual sacrements of all
that Ceremonial Magic, it didn't land in the book by accident]
aspects of Against the Day make me think of Reclaiming. Again.
And it's not just nostalgia.
I've got it, Mark---you know my motors, toss me a page.
Just expect a Wiccan analysis. Trust me, there's plenty of red
meat here, were really did hit the jackpot back there in our
trek through Shambahala. Which, I guess, we haven't finshed,
have we?
I've got a nostalgic memory of Country Joe McDonald, sitting
in the back row of the UC Theater, watching Woodstock with
his family, pointing at the screen. This really happened, it's
true. So let's not get too settled in our chairs,
Now everybody. . . .
