but remember Milton's "fit audience, though few"

I'm the same age as the Grinch, 53...and have accomplished less than
half that much in nearly twice the time...
If I were to do a dissertation, maybe it'd be on Pynchon, Salinger and
Kerouac? and Robert Anton Wilson, so I'd probably have to bone up on
Shea as well...
(oh, and my SAT's were combined around 1400, I think - but I did
manage to find V. in high school and read GR the year it came out)
