I have been looking at "other people's" work lately. I didn't understand how "out there" I am. I thought this stuff was "obvious" to anyone who looked at it.

I have been SO LUCKY and BLESSED to have SMART, LOYAL, and EDUCATED readers like yourself.

My papers are a "chore", I know.

My 1st wife said that my one attempt at a novel was "very good as a report".

In my defense, if you have synesthesia and the text is a "glowing green/yellow lattice" that slowly rotates while things flash and pulse as you scan them. It's a LOT more interesting EXPERIENCE.
