Diana hello – could you please provide me with Dean E. Murphy’s email address.

 

I read with interest his article in today’s NYX, “With Rior End Near, Recall Race Starts to Look Conventional” [sic].

 

I know I still owe u parts 2 through 8 of the 8 part mini series I began sending on September 1st but as you can imagine when playing chess one cannot be so rude as to ask your opponent and in this instance, opponents, to “speed up.”

 

Earlier this morning I responded to an attorney-friend of mine in South Africa who I met while doing the 4 day Inka Trail hike in Peru last year, almost being blown off the top of Dead Women’s Pass, my camera taking most of the brunt, and if you have been to those parts no doubt you spent sum time at “Sexywoman” just outside of Cuzco where the photo contained in that last hyperlink was taken.

 

Emile blew out his knee perhaps thinking that the steps where nothing more than hurdles to be attacked at “full speed”, obstacles nothing more than opportunities to fine tune one’s skills, agree?

 

Later today I plan to get my surfski back from one of the old-time local shapers, my shoulder although still tender from a nagging injury is, I think, ready to be tested in preparation for the winter swells.

 

How are your hands these days? Remember, although I am neither an attorney nor a physician, little or no real higher academic achievements to speak of, I know a good thing when I see one, integers quite amazing, real and imaginary, so what is it that stirs you this day, please, however, don’t tell me you r also crying?

 

You do understand perfectly well, that no matter what comes of this recall election in California it will mean absolutely nothing, & everything, to each of our futures, sitting though on the sidelines can get one very fat, and if straddling a fence, well you get the picture [Colo], the only possible other benefit is exercising that scalene muscle on the neck, moving left and right much like those idiots who watch tennis which many an honest physician would argue, correctly, in my opinion, is in large measure responsible for the aches and pains that folks like you have experienced in the recent past, i.e. weak neck, muscle.

 

Now though would not be the time to explain to me why you are such a pain in my arse, and please notice the “idiot” hyperlink only covers up tu the letter “t”, perhaps no more than two individuals on this planet who would dare to call my mother, quite the genius, an idiot, as I am sure you have now researched in an effort to cover your butt, no doubt you will have ample opportunity to explain yourself, very possibly in front of a Congressional Committee, again that is only my opinion.

 

I know u, holier than thou journalists, have a tough time being on the receiving end, of a concerted, carefully orchestrated, mind blowing, tenacious attack, agree?

 

Good Day,

 

Gary
