The first few iterations were funny, honey, but the
concept had a limited shelf life. With humor, as with
most everything else in life, there's such a thing as
reaching the point of diminishing returns.
Also, just a general thought to ponder: Sometimes a
good sense of humor is defined by what a person
*doesn't* find funny. (Sort of a koan, actually.)
Do you mean it when you call me honey, I hope so.
When you get to me my age you'll know what I mean.
These days the girls just seem to look right through me.
And thank you for the koan.
In all those years with Paul Reps in Kyoto and all that "What is Mu" music I've
never had such clarity.
Like a light. In the distance. I hear a train coming.
As long as MZ has had time to collect his thoughts, I'm happy.
Are you happy, like I said, I hope so.
