Re: The Internet is Great....

Family's 1200 miles away. Wife's in bed with an awful cold. Mom's
choking through last stages of emphysyma. Favorite Uncle's gone into
the hospice last week (prostrate cancer - age 74). Been shoveling snow
and nursing my wife this morning. Headed to the TV station within the
hour for a 24 hour shift; five miles down unplowed backroads, 40 miles
drive on snowy roads then five miles by snowmachine up ski trail to top
of Mt. Mansfield. Had Thanksgiving meal alone; bowl of soy yogurt.

And yet...the snow, lightly settled on the red spruce trees just
outside my window reminds me of why I love Vermont. Bach's Prelude and
Fugue in D just finished playing on http://www.radioswissclassic.ch.
Last night I came up a nice proof for a Japanese Temple Geometry puzzle
that I've been musing over.

All is well. Life is a gift.

"If the world does not appear magical, blame yourself; tell yourself
that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches." Rilke, "Letters
to a Young Poet"

Happy Thanksgiving,
Mike
