Bruce:

>Lou, you seem angry with me. What's going on with you?

Bruce, earlier a couple of weeks ago when I had started this ‘chapter’
of my vendetia so to speak, I had felt you might become identified with
what I expressed. And I’m trying deliberately by calling it this, to
check any residue of vindictiveness in it all. Actually I hope to
evaluate any vengeful cord that would try to remain, if in fact there
is one in what I am being in all that I have been saying there, and
sever it. That is actually what I was attempting with my “EDICT” post
the other day. That is to amplify by exposure via levity, trying to be
fooling around jesting with serious undertones and it backfired on me.
As personality will seem to often do even while being mixed with
essence.

That I seem angry “with you” is undoubtedly “in you”, and what is
actually going on is “in me” (or with me) as you have stated it. Bruce
you’re a real intelligent guy, and very quick as well, but I assure you
that any anger projected, subtle or otherwise was in no way pointed
toward you, if in fact there was anger in it at all. (Which that
juries’s still out on that one in my mind anyway.) The opposite in fact
is the reality of it in my own experience anyway, and not because you
are any less an “ass” than the rest of us around here ether. In the
instance, which I had been referring and as personality is concerned
you would be exempt from any judgements along the lines, I was
addressing there by the qualifications of “newcomer states”. And I’ll
add that if you’re like I was when I was new in here this exclusion
will be likely to rub you the wrong way. But rest easy with it here now
if you can, for if you choose to stay around here for the long haul you
will have much more ample opportunity that you can make requirements
galore for yourself to be accountable to, if in fact you wish to be
doing that.

On an entirely different point I was happy to see you were ok with “us”
in lieu of this type training. A stand-up performance in
the “experiential realm”, for an “egghead” that is. {Slyly greening in
fun with admiration}

PS What a “colossally” mindful attitude, Brick Cooking 101. I can
imagine it now the house that Bruce built. And get the picture here
he’s not going to buy some old commercial bricks, but this man is
intent on getting his hands/heart into the nitty-gritty core of the
fundamental (base) materials in the very foundation of the structure.
This chap sounds sincere to me folks. But time will tell I’ve been
duped before, he, he.
