BTM ! Well, all right. Your book sounds like a lot of fun---and the choice of how to proceed through it is a novelty I admire and haven't encountered before. Congratulations ! So glad you're on top of the world---where we should all aspire to find ourselves ?
I find that "old age" is a delight: my time is my own, and I can do my work better and more easily than ever before. As for the physical side of things, "use it or lose it" is the operative prescription. Rock on . . .!
New tumblr blog: SdrewR First entry:
What is the difference—ethically, morally, as a matter of human rights—between the Taliban in Afghanistan decreeing that a woman will not be seen on the street if more than her eyes are uncovered, and the US Supreme Court decreeing that a woman seeking an abortion may be prevented by law from having one—that she or anyone assisting her might be prosecuted as a result ?
SDR, I'm going to be in SF in late July with my wife and sister-in-law. I'm slightly familiar with the Duboce area, perhaps we might stop in the shop and say hello if you're going to be in the fix-it space around that time. Sanchez? 14th? Market? Whereabouts is the location, and only if your comfortable in going from a virtual acquaintance to a real world acquaintance. All the best, BTM aka JK Duval 🙂
Hey, @SDR, just scrolled through older threads and got curious. What‘s up? All good? Haven’t heard from you in a while!

Thanks, Herringbone. I'm good at 81, making a new suite of furniture for my apartment and keeping up with Wright at Wright Chat. Helped restore a fire-damaged Usonian last year; nice to do something more for the community than just pontificate !
How are you, and what's up ? My sister is coming from the other coast to visit, and she sent a couple of her haiku. I said I used to be in a group that communicated by haiku, and she asked to see samples. You appeared at the right time ! I'll send her a link.
Best---Bender
@SDR Haha! Great to hear you’re good! And I’m very impressed that you helped to restore something that might be called a national treasure. Of course I‘ve never heard about Usonians before - Wright wasn’t very active around Germany - but I learned a lot about them in the last couple of minutes. Thank you for that!
As far as haikus are concerned: I‘m afraid none of the regular attendees here is in the game anymore. But we sure could try.
