The second day I was in hospital Thomas came into my room very excited telling me that there was good news. A law had just been passed that would allow me to sue for malpractice. I gave my honest and sincere advice to Met History back channel. The international phone card is a real good idea. Now all I need is a girlfriend... hmmmm... there is a nice lady in Scotland... I read recently how they train circus horses to stay in the ring. First the horse is trained to go around and around in a circle with a leash, though they call it something else. Then there is a long whip, which the horses continue to imagine is a leash. The trainer places assistants around the outside of the ring. The ring is 42' in diameter and 6" high (obligatory histo presto content if anyone has one of these from Barnum & Bailey or Clyde Brothers then we can restore it). When the horse steps out of the ring the assistants begin yelling and screaming and waving their hands and jumping around (in this case the BP preservationeers threaten bed pans for the insane, or a year subscription to a phone sex line). This puts the horse into high-panic mode. When the horse steps back into the circle the trainer gives them a carrot. After a while the horse does not step out of the circle for anything. What BOY needs is dressage training. As to contract... Confucius placed an emphasis on the importance of family and the role of the father as the foundation of a civilization of laws. A social contract is the basic fundamental of a peaceful society of free individuals. Christopher can forgive his son their contract, but in future as an adult the world will not forgive BOY if he willfully breaks a contract. There is an opportunity here for the building of character... and BOY does have a fine character. Christopher is in a tough fix. It is so very good to hear that you are 19 again. I hope that it does not mean that we will have to keep an extra eye on you! ][<en -- To terminate puerile preservation prattling among pals and the uncoffee-ed, or to change your settings, go to: <http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/bullamanka-pinheads.html>
