maybe, as you suggest, there's a reason for placing the KAJ name change
a year earlier.  It's fiction, I for one encourage it to be different
from (or, as
John Carvill might say, 'different to') reality

never heard of him before, John Cassavetes as a piano-playing solver

geeze Robin, I've been operating under the assumption that we are
painting here, if you will, in like water-soluble poster paint and no
matter how much we throw at the wall, none of it will stick.  Or at least
it'll wash off easily

If I let myself worry about defacing this wonderful art of that author whom we
feel deeply affectionate towards...gaah, Kreplach! I wouldn't have anything much
to say about any of this

but, yeah, it is a good page, ol' 98.
