Yes: I am getting rather confused with names, overworked and getting
old. I should stop counting on the power my brain alone and draw on
other forms of phenomenological cognition.
Anyway, I'll just change this to congratulate Simon and Karen. I was
wondering about not knowing anything about Jack possibly becoming a
grandfather.
I guess I'll just stop trying in vain to be a nice guy and go to my
normal self, be a bastard and yell at people for not being sufficiently
educational and ethically epistemological.
This is rather embarrassing for me. But being the type of world we
live in and the present, rather despairing state of it, I do not think
there is much harm in such mistakes. Certainly not malice.
Here's wishing us a life time of erronously congratulating each other.
All my last telegrams were those of sympathy for the loss and death of
closed ones. This email makes a blessed change for me.
