dear Shu Lea,

fantastic, I can not wait for the third iteration which, as you seem to
plan it, will move us into the dream,

kick it! Rob

"But I've seen everything I ever want to see
Screaming "Fire!" in a theater people taking their seats
Watch it all go down like a stone in a stream ....

tell me something real, tell me something true"
