jews and others i have known and not

[Harry Edwards]

Yes, Michael, we have met. Specifically at the 2002 reunion.

Like Lyle Lovett, I love everybody. I have constructed no uncongenial 
personas for you or anyone on this list. Perhaps you've taken offense 
to my response to the exchange about fishing. And now that I think on 
it, it would have been more accurate to say "lines in the water" 
instead of rods in the water. The fishing vernacular eludes me.

I first came to Austin in September of 1960 and left for good (until I 
came back) in August of 1970. I lived and partied at the Ghetto and 
spent many hours in the Chuck Wagon. I don't remember you either, but I 
don't doubt that you were there.

I can do nothing about my absurdist, borderline-apocalyptic sense of 
humor. It is a permanent resident since my brain attack. A sense of 
humor that I suspect Baron Katfish shares, being himself a veteran of 
the Viet Nam campaign.
