complicated by my third major eye surgery in ten months, detached retina this time after two cataract surgeries. I didn't want my seeming disappearance/silence to be taken as anything less or more than a limitation of my visual capabilities. However, I can see again. I had great adventures. I now know Drs. Rachel Bromwich and Anne Ross and other fabled people of the University of Wales at Aberystwyth. And I need to get resocialized. And to read all this mountain of email and try to find my lost mail. Anything happen while I was gone? (Like, most of my waiting mail got disappeared.) M. Richard Myers III Ponder or dance with Chaos, the choice is yours: Either without vision is your loss. -m3
