Most happy to be imaginary. ;-) Leastways for the time being.

If the opthamologist had few ideas it might go along with my developing 
theory of the conservation of bright ideas. If an idea is connected with 
the compulsion that one might have to realize it themselves then it 
makes sense w/ limited human resources and the length of a lifespan to 
not have too many of them. Whereas if an idea is not connected with any 
hope of ever realizing it then we are free to have as many of them as we 
can come up with.

I was relating elsewhere today about a childhood friend who never 
learned to read and our relationship which at times was violent from our 
polar prisons. He had a speech impediment and kids made fun of him. Kids 
made fun of me too. Both of us got in fights with other kids, and with 
each other. He was my friend. My mother told me over the holiday that he 
is still working as a dish washer in the deli in Ithaca where I last saw 
him some 30 years ago. I am confident that the folks he works for have 
been very good to him. At heart he is a sweet guy. Later in the day I 
could not help but wonder how many ideas he has never had all these 
years. Like Ada.

A meteriorite fell through the cedar shake roof of a house and landed in 
the wall of the 2nd floor bathroom last week in suburban New Jersey.

Then I wonder if we come into the world with a finite supply of ideas, 
like a woman's eggs, only so many of them to go around and we need to be 
cautious to take care not to use them all up.
