I had a moment today at the Asian buffet I like, and I always grab a cookie for Missy and put it in my pocket to take home to her, and I stuck my arm out for one, and had to stop myself mid-reach.

I wanted to thank again all who wrote off-list, and I didn't catch that I hadn't changed this thank you note to Gil alone off-list when I hit the reply button. I didn't want to keep on with this on the list, because a mention of it before and after was enough--there's typical touchy-feely right-brained INFJ me, and then there's even too much for even me--but I wanted to write individually my thank yous off the list with whatever thoughts/reflections I had. I know there's a fine line with things like these (now I'm thinking of the Divinyls--jeesh will I ever escape the '80s?) No, please don't ask me how I've been gettin' on, - --Mark p.s. Generation A (title taken from a Kurt Vonnegut commencement address in 1994) is fricking fantastique! I think this one will make even the most stalwart Coupland hater soften like the Grinch when he gets a heart--it's kind of like what I told my brother when describing my love of old Mercedes Benz's (late '50s through early '80s models) earlier tonight. It "reeks quality." I see a major studio movie here with A list (no pun intended) actors. Just, please God, no Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise. In a message dated 11/11/2009 9:55:55 P.M.
