[lit-ideas] Re: Dance and other cards

It's okay, Erin.....I've had nightmares in Spanish for three nights running  
and my husband swears If I curse him out in a European dialect one more  time, 
he'll sue for divorce
 
 
Personally I hold the wine-producers responsible.

Sorry, I've had my nose in this German book  all day and I'm losing the 
capacity to write English.  This is especially  unfortunate because while I'm 
losing the capacity to write English, my capacity  to write German isn't 
improving 
in the least.

I,  on the other hand, and trying to keep Erkenntnis, Ergebnis, and Erlebnis  
straight.  Oh, woe is me.  
For all intensive  purposes.  Ha.  I really like that : )

While I  have been off witnessing condo races and water twisters in L.A., I
have apparently missed an important party, one at which I was nominated  to
cook.  Apologies.  I trust that the whisky was  Trader Joe's best, that Erin
let the microbrewed keg settle  before it was tapped, and that the two who
started all this led  you in suitably literary dances, an Allemande to begin
perhaps,  followed by the Haymakers, some Jigs and Hornpipes, a minuet, a
riotous reel?

My excuse for disturbing the silence is  poor.  Having spent the morning
reading things like, "For  all intensive purposes, I will consistently use
this  terminology throughout the paper," I was delighted by the following
history, "My great-great uncle [identity snipped] was the  village
blacksmith, who was best known for fitting a ring in  the nose of a circus
bear without the use of a  tranquilizer.  My great-great grandfather [i.d.
snipped]  was an inventor who sued Thomas Edison for patent infringement
concerning a magnetic iron ore separator.  In the 1950's William [snip],  my
grandfather, was a programmer on the UNIVAC, the first  civilian use
"computer"... [snip]...  Sharing an interest  in all of these things, from
forging metal to programming  computers, I feel that I am part of all that
came before  me."

There, wouldn't you want to read the rest of the  thesis and see the art that
arises from such an  inheritance?  Well done that man.
