060916 -    3.  Tried to call this evening.  Your phone rang only once and then
060917 -        stopped.  Called back and same thing, so the gods are against
060918 -        calling this evening.
060920 -         ..
060921 -    4.  The Yankees lost their "mojo" about the 1st week in September,
060922 -        and got clobbered by a "hot" Texas team.  So, now it's wait to
060923 -        next year!!
060925 -         ..
060926 -    5.  Sounds like you had a fun day with the girls.
060928 -         ..
060929 -    6.  Used a magnifying glass, and yes it is a picture of me and mom.
060930 -        Not sure where it was taken - maybe at Rob and Marsha's place
060931 -        in Menlo Park, but don't remember an event there with mother.
060932 -        Do you know?  I want to mention it next time I call Sally and
060933 -        mom.  Thanks very much for the picture. [...responding to
060934 -        Kathy's letter on 101021 2342. ref SDS 6 IR8Y...]
060936 -         ..
060937 -    7.  I was going through Millie's filing cabinet and found some of
060938 -        her "keep sakes" - a picture of me at about age 12, in 7th or
060939 -        8th grade.  Don't know where she would have gotten it, because
060940 -        I don't have any pictures.  Maybe mother-Dorothy, Kath, or
060941 -        someone.  Anyway, it was fun and very touching finding what Mil
060942 -        saved - including a Valentine's day letter I wrote in 1996.
060944 -         ..
060945 -    8.  Also discovered various notebooks Millie used for a diary of
060946 -        her thoughts and activities.  She did this more extensively on
060947 -        the trips she took abroad.
060949 -         ..
060950 -    9.  SDS is advancing.  After 2 years, we are at a point where I can
060951 -        do more of the programming.  It's a matter of revising existing
060952 -        code developed the past 30 years to apply variations and
060953 -        advantages of the new platform that expands memory.  Doing this
060954 -        work discovers defects in the new 64-bit code, which need to be
060955 -        fixed so I can continue.  The coordination and collaboration is
060956 -        stressful for both of us, but we are moving forward.
060958 -         ..
060959 -   10.  Last week was tough getting out to hike.  Focused on work, but
060960 -        did go out to the Reservoir Friday and Saturday.  Friday felt
060961 -        great gliding along fast and strong for 3 laps, so much that I
060962 -        got a blister.  Thought it was okay yesterday, but could only
060963 -        do 2 laps.  Rain today was a good excuse to stay home and let
060964 -        the blister heal.
060966 -         ..
060967 -   11.  Patty and Pablito have been kind and considerate asking about
060968 -        my plans and tasks ahead.  Sent a letter showing an agenda out
060969 -        to the year 2300. ref SDS 4 I45T
060971 -         ..
060972 -   12.  Saw an interesting discussion today on CSPAN.  Author Steven
060973 -        Johnson talked about his new book "Where Good Ideas Come From:
060974 -        The Natural History of Innovation."  Johnson mentioned that
060975 -        innovation, far from being a "burst of light," evolves slowly
060976 -        from connecting prior experience to new activities over a long
060977 -        time. 101024 1506, ref SDS 7 KS5H  Difficulty remembering
060978 -        accurately necessarily makes innovation very "hit and miss"
060979 -        through arduous trial and error.  Johnson did not explain,
060980 -        however, that keeping a diary with specialized tools makes
060981 -        creating connections fast and easy to discover powerful new
060982 -        patterns beyond imagination, noted in a letter to Mil's kids,
060983 -        who asked about their mom's "accomplishments". ref SDS 1 TJ5V

060986 -   13.  Sorry, couldn't get through on the telephone.
060988 -         ..
060989 -   14.  Talk to you soon.
