Thank you, Doug. And thanks again for being one of the persons to turn me on
to the work of Lisa Robertson "...from the Office of Soft Architecture."
"Crossing the Millennium" was probably a project of the same time period and
it's been fun to see the ways in which her eye and thinking parallel and
juxtapose with my own - a conjunction of reading Proust and Walter Benjamin-
a real pleasure - plus what I have found through this list in the walking
and other work of Jill Jones.
Yes, birthday and San Francisco has provided a beautiful, luminescent
morning - a wonderful candle lighting from that star from close and afar!
Merci.
