About the cyber retrieval...
Not long ag...Phoebe,<br /><br />About the cyber retrieval...<br /><br />Not long ago I saw a fellow who looked and even dressed like a young Dizzy Gillespie rooting around in a sewer drain downtown, with the grating removed and most of his body immersed; out of curiosity I paused to observe, and was rewarded, moments later, by hearing him exclaim, "I found it!" When he climbed out, grinning broadly, he flashed a huge glittering ring, and said jubilantly, "That's four years of my life right there!" It was his Marine Corps ring. From that I learned that fishing beneath grates can be a positive thing. Many thanks again.<br /><br /><br />Susan,<br /><br />Sie haben es gesagt!TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-70626667514895667072012-04-19T15:48:21.119-07:002012-04-19T15:48:21.119-07:00Ach Du Lieber Zeit.Ach Du Lieber Zeit.Susan Kay Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277139119869470939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-15521074706298934272012-04-19T13:47:38.723-07:002012-04-19T13:47:38.723-07:00I think I disappeared it by mistake.

But was so sweet and I was so delighted to see it that I have now fished it out of the cyber-grates. Many thanks, dear Phoebe! <br /><br />Phoebe said...<br /><br />Beautiful, Tom.<br /><br />I am so glad you are recovering. I found out about the accident from Lally's blog - since I retired in June from teaching, I read it regularly, and now yours, too. Wonderful.<br /><br />Life is good here in Pasadena. Lewis is well, kids and grandkids thriving in NYC.<br /><br />Please give my best my love to Angelica.<br /><br />Phoebe <br /><br />____<br /><br />And she sends hers to you.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-49812876828342726612012-04-19T12:14:43.437-07:002012-04-19T12:14:43.437-07:00You and Bertolt, both unblinking and generous.You and Bertolt, both unblinking and generous.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688157396670142310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-86824043861402333282012-04-19T11:59:57.306-07:002012-04-19T11:59:57.306-07:00Simply stupefying all the way.Simply stupefying all the way.vazambam (Vassilis Zambaras)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14515165428574974933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-85922762212496785422012-04-19T11:28:34.317-07:002012-04-19T11:28:34.317-07:00Simple, beautiful.

I remember learning to read German to meet a graduate school qualification and being astonished by its beauty. I had heard it spoken before and had always liked the sounds, but I really learned then how much I loved them. At the same time I learned how strongly I disagreed (and in some cases violently disliked) people who failed to recognize this and would say disparaging things about German as a language, generally for superficial political reasons and because they thought saying so made them sound intelligent and worthy.

Every time I get trapped inside the technological prison citadels of that mega industry, I can think only of escape, starting over, dragging my bent crooked-number frame back out into the air of relative freedom, and never looking back.
