  Very good! I always miss you even when our exchanges
  occasionally run out of steam or get "thorny"

   I'm still crawling along with an ol' 386 and a hard disk beginning
   to squeal a bit (on and off). I hit the side of the case (like an
   old radio) and it usually quiets down (for awhile).

  I tried to get in on your exchanges with William Elliot but
  could never figure what the two of you were ever talking about!
 
  As usual, I'm ever off on a late goosechase after everyone else
  has already tired of a topic ....sort of like searching old
  mines that have run out. While beating around in such dustbins,
  "FRACTALS" peeked up at me and my curiosity (like a cat) had me
  nosing around. Not being a number whiz, I have to translate math
  into simple arithmetic. I also had to relearn my old BASIC
  programing language and how to generate bit graphics. Though I
  haven't plotted a true "fractalation" yet, I am up to the point
  of plotting dots on the screen.
 
  Also I reread the Naj Hamadi Gnostic Library again; several
  years and with wide sweeps through other material, I understood
  a lot more of what I was reading this time ....though still not
  a bell ringer .
 
  Also been some busy defending the President and boxing around
  with the IRAQi thing (other local conferences) ..........!
 
  AND I still persue my own definition of importance
  on the other side of self ....a life quest  !!!
 
  With each holiday I put together an elaborate decorated envelope
  package for the grandkids (4). The "St. Pats" version this year will
  have a write-up on their "IRISH" connection (actually Orange
  Scotch-Irish) on my wife's side, but close enough to the "Green" .
  One of the best last year, on Halloween, was the story of their
  GGGGrandmother being attacked by a werewolf (lupu-minaru) in old
  Sicily. To spice it up I also told of my own birth beneath a full
  moon (May 9, 1933) and the "wicca marks" on my back. While researching
  the family history some time back, many old near forgotten tales came
  to light and I wrote them all down. Now I pass them on during
  appropriate holidays.
 
  Bet you're sorry you asked "Wot's ya' got on.......yer mind?  ;)"
