    Bruce Mowbray: What is so fair as a day in June?
    Agatha Macbeth: Sorry you had to miss your slot yesterday, hope all went well
    Bruce Mowbray: Actually,
    Bruce Mowbray: there were complications . .
    Bruce Mowbray: too many to mention....
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Bruce Mowbray: but,
    Bruce Mowbray: as with everything,
    Bruce Mowbray: also silver linings.
    Agatha Macbeth: Mixed blessings?
    Bruce Mowbray: some dear friends are being sued for very unreasonable stuff.
    Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
    Bruce Mowbray: and I will do everything in my power to defend them....
    Bruce Mowbray: we appear in court on July 23rd.
    Bruce Mowbray: alas.
    Bruce Mowbray: life has these little ups and downs.
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
    Bruce Mowbray: we will get through it; we will prevail.
    Bruce Mowbray: here comes Wol!
    Agatha Macbeth: I hope so
    Bruce Mowbray: oh I am positive.
    Agatha Macbeth: That's always good
    Bruce Mowbray: both about Wol and about the outcome of the trial.
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Agatha Macbeth: You need a Perry Mason maybe?
    Wol Euler: evening all!
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello again Wollie
    Bruce Mowbray: Wol is coming -- YAYYY! Here she is!
    Wol Euler waves.
    Agatha Macbeth: Unfortunately I see you both with grey lower halves :(
    Bruce Mowbray: awwwww.
    Wol Euler: oh boo
    Agatha Macbeth: Which is annoying
    Bruce Mowbray: boo and hisssss.
    Agatha Macbeth: So much for SSA
    Wol Euler: no worries, I'll just use the Rebake command which is still in the menu. No, wait, that doesn't work any more.
    Bruce Mowbray: Social Security Administration?
    Agatha Macbeth: It's 'tax refresh' now
    Agatha Macbeth: Server Side apperance
    Bruce Mowbray: re-bake has never worked for moi.
    Agatha Macbeth: It never will now heh
    Agatha Macbeth: Trying to do it manually, but no luck
    Bruce Mowbray: Hmmm. Re-boot?
    Bruce Mowbray: Wol and I will wait for you.
    Agatha Macbeth: Hardly worth it, I can live with it
    Wol Euler nods.
    Bruce Mowbray: kk.
    Agatha Macbeth: Might make it worse!
    Bruce Mowbray: Life is trouble. only death is not. To be alive is to undo your belt and look for trouble. --- Zorba.
    Agatha Macbeth: At least I see your top halfs
    Bruce Mowbray: away from keyboard for a sec or 2.
    Agatha Macbeth: Those Greeks eh
    Agatha Macbeth: Odd how it's just the tops not the bottoms
    Wol Euler: I'd love to re-read Zorba. I know that I own a copy, but I'm not sure where it is
    Agatha Macbeth: Anthony Quinn?
    Wol Euler: avatar skin-textures are in several pieces, that's why.
    Agatha Macbeth: Aha

    Wollie and Bruce suddenly appear in glorious technicolour

    Agatha Macbeth: Oh there you are!
    Wol Euler: sometimes you'll have a grey head on a properly developed body or v.v.
    Agatha Macbeth: Result
    Wol Euler cheers!
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes I noticed that before
    Wol Euler: head / upper torso / arms / lower torso / feet
    Wol Euler: are the components
    Agatha Macbeth: Karu Karu?
    Bruce Mowbray: [apparently our appearance may mirror our state of mind?]
    Wol Euler: yup
    Agatha Macbeth: Yay
    Agatha Macbeth: Possibly Brucie, not sure
    Bruce Mowbray: My typist has various shades of gray...
    Bruce Mowbray: I have a question!
    Agatha Macbeth: Reminds me of a Monkees song
    Agatha Macbeth: Fire away Brucie
    Bruce Mowbray: daydream believer?
    Bruce Mowbray: okay that was not the question.
    Agatha Macbeth: No, Shades of grey
    Bruce Mowbray: .it
    Bruce Mowbray: here is my question:
    Agatha Macbeth: Was it the Monkees? I forget
    --BELL--1315
    Bruce Mowbray: On Thursday of this week, I received a notice from Bert about a meditation session that was supposed to begin in a few minutes.
    Bruce Mowbray: I went loops
    Bruce Mowbray: oops.
    Bruce Mowbray: (sry) drop.
    Bruce Mowbray: So, I went to perfect paradise -- to Bert's meditation location . . . but no one was there. What am I to make of this?
    Agatha Macbeth: On Thursday?
    Wol Euler: a late delivery by SL?
    Wol Euler: that does happen
    Bruce Mowbray: perhaps.
    Wol Euler: though taht would be exceptionally late
    Agatha Macbeth: Good grief
    Agatha Macbeth: Four days seems somewhat excessive
    Bruce Mowbray: yes, that's what I thought too.
    Bruce Mowbray: four days?
    Bruce Mowbray: but then I thought perhaps Bert has a midweek meditation session --- and I would not want to miss it.
    Agatha Macbeth: Well presumably from last Sunday
    Agatha Macbeth: Not that I know of
    Bruce Mowbray: Curiouser and curiouser.
    Bruce Mowbray: I was there last Sunday.....
    Agatha Macbeth: I didn't get any notice if there was
    Wol Euler: nor I
    Wol Euler: I'd put it down to SL being dim
    Bruce Mowbray: okay. thank you!
    Bruce Mowbray: just one of those entangled quantum loops.
    Wol Euler: right
    Bruce Mowbray: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Hm, don't see any other explaination
    Wol Euler: file under "einstein was right"
    Agatha Macbeth: Brucehog day
    Bruce Mowbray: Quantum Loop Entanglement explains all conundrums.
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Agatha Macbeth: Or string theory
    Wol Euler: perhaps that is the meaning of 42.........
    Agatha Macbeth: Or dark matter
    Bruce Mowbray: no strings attached!
    Bruce Mowbray dies from laughing....
    Agatha Macbeth: Uh oh
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah you came back that time
    Bruce Mowbray: The cat came back the very next day. They thought he was a goner, but the cat came back.
    Agatha Macbeth: No scuba diving
    Bruce Mowbray: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Work today Wollie?
    Wol Euler: nope
    Wol Euler: nor tomorrow
    Agatha Macbeth: Great
    Wol Euler: three-day weekend off.
    Bruce Mowbray: YAYYY!
    Wol Euler: imagine that
    Bruce Mowbray: YAYYYYYYYYY!
    Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
    Agatha Macbeth: Plenty of WoW then
    Bruce Mowbray: WOWOWOWOWOW!
    Bruce Mowbray:
    Agatha Macbeth: Hope he turns up today then
    Bruce Mowbray: "he" ????
    Agatha Macbeth: Berti
    Wol Euler guesses "berti"
    Bruce Mowbray: OH! You mean BERTIE!
    Wol Euler: yay
    Bruce Mowbray: of course.
    Bruce Mowbray: pronoun references leave my typist in limbo.
    Agatha Macbeth: Well it could always be *he* thought Thursday was Sunday for whatever reason
    Bruce Mowbray: yes, I have that same confusion.
    Bruce Mowbray: a mixing of days.... and entanglement of days.
    Agatha Macbeth: Seems like two very odd days to confuse
    Agatha Macbeth: Sunday and Saturday I can understand
    Bruce Mowbray: If no longer works on a regular schedule, or does anything else on a regular schedule, the days become rather meaningless.
    Bruce Mowbray: and something in me enoys that
    Agatha Macbeth: Hm, guess so
    Bruce Mowbray: enjoys*
    Agatha Macbeth: Like Xmas
    Wol Euler: what the hell was that?
    Agatha Macbeth: Something which happens in December?
    Bruce Mowbray: does a bird know the difference between a Sunday and a Thursday?
    Wol Euler: [13:25] Second Life: PSORIASIS (PSORIASIS) is now known as Flakey Pastry.
    Wol Euler: did nobody else see that?
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh someone nearby changed their name
    Bruce Mowbray: ???
    Agatha Macbeth: Or on your friends list
    Bruce Mowbray: PSORIASIS!
    Bruce Mowbray: I would hope!
    Wol Euler: pretty sure that I know no such person .....

    I peruse the radar

    Agatha Macbeth: Yes it's someone 300m away, probably at Hanja
    Bruce Mowbray: amazing that should appear in the chat log!
    Wol Euler: wow
    Agatha Macbeth: Didn't appear in mine
    Bruce Mowbray: "Flaky Pastry" ???
    Bruce Mowbray: but you still see us as half gray, aggers.
    Wol Euler: nasty, that
    Bruce Mowbray: ha hya!
    Agatha Macbeth: If I had a name like PSORIASIS I sure would want to change it
    Bruce Mowbray: OH, how I love these entanglements~
    Bruce Mowbray: so humbling.
    Agatha Macbeth: Very unpleasant skin condition
    Wol Euler: If I had such a name, I would not have given myself such a name in the first place
    Agatha Macbeth: Right
    Bruce Mowbray: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Makes one wonder
    Bruce Mowbray: perhaps a lost soul in search of identity?
    Agatha Macbeth: Hang on, isn't that a paradox?
    Wol Euler mentally rewrites Stairway to Heaven in passive voice and the third person
    Bruce Mowbray: Go for it, Wol!
    Agatha Macbeth: Miss Given change instruments
    Bruce Mowbray: changed chairs, all move, change identities, all groove, and enjoy!
    Agatha Macbeth: Sometimes words have two meanings
    Bruce Mowbray: at least 2.
    --BELL--1330
    Bruce Mowbray: For example, how many meanings are there to the word " be" ? -- (takes deep breath.)
    Agatha Macbeth: Mmm
    Bruce Mowbray: bee?
    Agatha Macbeth: Bzz
    Bruce Mowbray: buzzy buzz buzz.
    Agatha Macbeth: BeOS
    Bruce Mowbray: Wol, do you have a song reference for that?
    Agatha Macbeth pokes Wollie
    Bruce Mowbray: honey bee look n' for a home, and a called it a honey comb and then . . .
    Bruce Mowbray: sorry. that goes back to an earlier era.
    Agatha Macbeth: Don't think that was Stairway to heaven Brucie
    Bruce Mowbray: ha ha!
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah Berti is on
    Bruce Mowbray: I will find it for you. just a sec.
    Bruce Mowbray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1ub...-to&feature=kp
    Agatha Macbeth hopes this doesn't crash her
    Bruce Mowbray: ;)
    Bruce Mowbray: me too!
    Agatha Macbeth: Now that really *is* before my time
    Bruce Mowbray: I was in high school.
    Bruce Mowbray: 1957.
    Bruce Mowbray: Here's a notice from Bert!
    Agatha Macbeth noticed the notice
    Bruce Mowbray: noticed that you noticed the notice.
    Agatha Macbeth: Wonder if Wol is still composing?
    Wol Euler: nope
    Bruce Mowbray sits on hands and listens, for a welcome change.
    Wol Euler: went to the kitchen for tea and brought back raspberries and cream instead
    Bruce Mowbray: YAYYYY!
    Agatha Macbeth: Easy mistake
    Bruce Mowbray: LOVE such entanglements.
    Wol Euler: they do look alike
    Agatha Macbeth: At least you didn't get the wrong flavour yogurt this time
    Wol Euler: ha
    Agatha Macbeth: 'I went to bed unyogurted'
    Bruce Mowbray: Me too, aggers.
    Agatha Macbeth: Funny the things one remembers
    Wol Euler: let me dig that out for bruce
    Wol Euler: because it's not going in the log
    Bruce Mowbray: ty!
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh please do!
    Agatha Macbeth: It was so funny
    Bruce Mowbray: wait for the .......
    Bruce Mowbray: (?)
    Agatha Macbeth waits for the....
    Bruce Mowbray: (already got it, ty, Wol!)
    Agatha Macbeth: Yay
    Bruce Mowbray: AHHH... a blog as yet missed. I shall look deeper, and later.
    Agatha Macbeth grins
    Bruce Mowbray: :))
    Bruce Mowbray: ty.
    Wol Euler: for obvious reasons it is not public knowledge
    Agatha Macbeth smiles
    Wol Euler: so please don'T spread it around
    Bruce Mowbray: kk. I shall look into it more deeply . . . but later.
    Wol Euler: ty
    Bruce Mowbray: yw, good person!
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah, haven't seen you do a 'don'T' for ages
    Bruce Mowbray: What is a "don'T'
    Bruce Mowbray: ?
    Agatha Macbeth: Or a 'htat' come to that
    Agatha Macbeth: A known Wollie typo
    Bruce Mowbray: kk, I identify -- with compassion -- and also with restraint.
    Agatha Macbeth: Quite well known on a time
    Wol Euler: they still happen, you just haven'T been watching
    Agatha Macbeth: Ha
    Bruce Mowbray: I guess not.
    Bruce Mowbray: 'T 'T 'T
    Agatha Macbeth: My commonest one is 'intersesting'
    --BELL--1345
    Bruce Mowbray: Did you know that if you use Dragon Naturally Speaking, that's sort of typos actually disappears? Dragon has a dictionary, of course, that spells everything perfectly. And then the problem becomes OH! those homonyms! Long live the entanglements.
    Wol Euler nods.
    Bruce Mowbray: nods with Wol.
    Bruce Mowbray dies from laughing....
    Agatha Macbeth: I know someone who used to blog on Myspace, then logged in one day to find the whole thing gone and the site changed beyond recognition without any consultation or prior notice
    Bruce Mowbray: Annihilation!
    Agatha Macbeth: Nice of them that
    Bruce Mowbray: I do my best to protect my typist from such traumas.
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Agatha Macbeth: Well you have fish to look after you
    Bruce Mowbray: he such a vulnerable soul, you know.
    Bruce Mowbray: yes and there is the fish.
    Wol Euler nods.
    Bruce Mowbray: there are the fish.
    Agatha Macbeth: Regarde les poissons
    Bruce Mowbray: swimmingly.
    Wol Euler: le poisson de ma tante est dans votre cheveux
    Agatha Macbeth: Sacré bleu!
    Bruce Mowbray: You know, the thing about fish is . . .
    Bruce Mowbray: they know how to go with the flow.
    Wol Euler nods.
    Bruce Mowbray: as it were.
    Bruce Mowbray: and so, the fish are also a Dharma gate...
    Agatha Macbeth: And swim in opposite directions usually
    Bruce Mowbray: perhaps.
    Bruce Mowbray: I mean, if one is in the market for Dharma Gates.
    Agatha Macbeth: Is that Bill's sister?
    Bruce Mowbray: STILL laughing!
    Agatha Macbeth: 'Hang on sis, I'll go and bug some more progs for the masses'
    Bruce Mowbray: This gives my fish vertigo!
    Wol Euler nods.
    Bruce Mowbray: ha ha!
    Agatha Macbeth: 'But they'll still buy em of course'
    Bruce Mowbray: The masses will buy anything that's well marketed.
    Agatha Macbeth: Talk about being in the right place at the right time
    Wol Euler: as will the elites, but the marketing is different
    Bruce Mowbray listens carefully.
    Wol Euler: look at the endowment funds of any major upper-league university
    Bruce Mowbray: DO I HAVE TO????
    Wol Euler: well, no
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Bruce Mowbray: ty.
    Wol Euler: just an example
    Bruce Mowbray: kk, understood.
    Wol Euler: an example of extremely successful marketing to the non-masses
    Bruce Mowbray: Hmmmm.
    Bruce Mowbray: my typist feels that he is beyond marketing.....
    Bruce Mowbray: maybe he's delusional.
    Wol Euler: that's how you know that you belong to the "non-masses" mass market :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Bruce Mowbray: ponders identity as " non-masses."
    Bruce Mowbray: doesn't feel right.
    Agatha Macbeth: Critical mass
    Agatha Macbeth: Midnight mass
    Wol Euler: I'm special, I don't shop at Lidl, I shop at (this other chain store)
    Agatha Macbeth: Quatermass
    Bruce Mowbray: feels more like entanglement, in something I don't belong in. . . but will check it out.
    Agatha Macbeth: I shop at Aldi usually, does that count?
    Bruce Mowbray: ALDI counts!
    Agatha Macbeth: Great
    Bruce Mowbray: we have all these everywhere in America!
    Bruce Mowbray: Aldi's
    Agatha Macbeth: I must be somebody and never knew it :p
    Wol Euler: (four minutes to Berti)
    Bruce Mowbray: And that is the challenge of every mirror, aggers.
    Agatha Macbeth: Shall we head Bertways?
    Bruce Mowbray: kk, thanks, Wol for that notification.
    Agatha Macbeth smiles @ Bruce
    Bruce Mowbray: I shall.
    Bruce Mowbray: thank you good people.

    And off we went
