ATDTDA 671ff

[Michael Bailey]

671 "Bozhe moi!" - Russian "my God"
Bog = God, and softens to
Bozhe in this usage (plural form?)

672 "But I sold my anger too cheap, didn't understand how
precious it was" --
Never understood that - seems like
an unpleasant emotion that one gets rid of asap,
deep breathing or whatever.  Never something to base action on...

673 poker solitaire - fitting that Webb in the afterlife
would be reduced to playing solitaire
having driven away his family (and is that the reunion from Vineland?)
but as he says "sometimes you even need it" (loneliness)

674 "meanest part of the US" - Yale?
or more accurately, maybe, the moneyed set...
a co-ordinate in a non-space - but nevertheless, a perceptible - dimension

675   vector in 5-dimensions - thus echoing, or harmonizing with,
the 5x5 matrix in the other dream.  Kit's analytical
mind does a lot more interpreting here than Frank has with his dreams.
But from my +1 dimensional vantage, what's plainest is he wants Webb
to be responsible for the revenge... and he's feeling a little sorry
for himself (o cursed spite)
