    --BELL--1.00
    Agatha Macbeth: Woot

    Bruce Mowbray: Heya, Eliza.
    Aphrodite Macbain: Heya

    Bruce Mowbray: Thanks for sending along the Gilgamesh links, Eliza.
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes, brill
    Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Eliza, TUra, Aggers
    Bruce Mowbray: I listened to the intro...
    Eliza Madrigal: Most welcome. Really it is all Bleu. I just put a pin in things :))
    Bruce Mowbray: and the first tablet.
    Eliza Madrigal: Oh?
    Agatha Macbeth: Keep taking the tablets
    Bruce Mowbray: kk, Thanks to Bleu, then.
    Eliza Madrigal smiles

    Eliza Madrigal: What did you think so far?
    Bruce Mowbray: I'm fascinated.
    Bruce Mowbray: I love allegories.
    Agatha Macbeth: And crocodiles
    Bruce Mowbray: This ones an allegory about growing up.
    Bruce Mowbray: one's*
    Aphrodite Macbain: Interesting. I read the introduction which set things up well
    Agatha Macbeth: Can't beat a good epic
    Eliza Madrigal: this sounds promising. So far, I've only done a few searches, for things like "Why read Gilgamesh?"
    Bruce Mowbray: fur shure.
    Aphrodite Macbain: It will keep us warm in November and December
    Agatha Macbeth: And the answer is...?
    Aphrodite Macbain: 47
    Eliza Madrigal: Aph was asking similar questions last session, so that sparked me to poke around a little
    Bruce Mowbray: You should TRY to stay warm in Ohio in winter!
    Eliza Madrigal: brrr
    Bruce Mowbray: yeppers, brrrr, fur shure.
    Agatha Macbeth: Down by the banks...
    Bruce Mowbray: We got below freezing last night.
    Aphrodite Macbain: brilliant blue sky days here. LOts of colour
    Agatha Macbeth: Erk
    Bruce Mowbray: Same here, Aph. Love it.
    Aphrodite Macbain: Warmest October in years
    Eliza Madrigal: how lovely
    Bruce Mowbray: also same here, but then it got cold.
    Aphrodite Macbain: everybody is talking about the color
    Eliza Madrigal: I live off of everyone's colorful photos this time of year
    Bruce Mowbray: Great for maing drone videos, huh?
    Bruce Mowbray: making*
    Aphrodite Macbain: sending photos to the local tv station and newspapers
    Bruce Mowbray: Oh yeah.
    Agatha Macbeth: Wonder if Adams will post any
    Aphrodite Macbain: Adams?
    Bruce Mowbray: She's a photographer.
    Aphrodite Macbain: ah
    Bruce Mowbray: :)
    Eliza Madrigal: drone videos? Is that what you're up to these days?
    Bruce Mowbray: Oh yeah.
    Aphrodite Macbain: amongst many things
    Agatha Macbeth: Does some great outdoor stuff of NJ
    Bruce Mowbray nods.
    Agatha Macbeth: Which reminds me I must read her blog again
    Eliza Madrigal: Adams' blog is like a second wiki :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Truly
    Eliza Madrigal: but that was the original PaB vision... everyone's individual blogs
    Agatha Macbeth: I wish Wol still did hers
    Bruce Mowbray: Hmmm, didn't know that.
    Aphrodite Macbain: That must have been waaay back
    Eliza Madrigal: all the early PaBers had blogs and the first sessions were notes not chat logs
    Bruce Mowbray: Wow.
    Eliza Madrigal: I mean session records
    Agatha Macbeth: Interesting evolvement
    Bruce Mowbray: Evo-Devo.
    Eliza Madrigal: it would have been harder to read everyone's blogs every week I think :))
    Agatha Macbeth: We are Devo
    Bruce Mowbray: Bleu cometh out of the blue.
    Aphrodite Macbain: It would have been hard to write them every week!
    Agatha Macbeth: Yay
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh some did
    Eliza Madrigal: it would have! although Aggers is right
    Agatha Macbeth: I remember Corvi's well
    Bleu Oleander's current display-name is "Bleu".
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Bleu :)
    Bruce Mowbray: (I'll. thank her.)
    Agatha Macbeth: Bleuji :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Bleu
    Tura Brezoianu: hi Bleu
    Bleu Oleander: hi all :)
    Bruce Mowbray: Thanks for the Gilgamesh links, Bleu.
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes thx
    Bleu Oleander: yw!
    Eliza Madrigal: Bleu and I arrived around the same time, and by then, only a few were keeping regular blogs, but there were the Chronicles (also Adams!), and Scribes

    (oh my!)

    Bruce Mowbray: Wonder if we might think of a nickname for Gilgamesh.... Takes a while to type it.
    Bleu Oleander: lol
    Agatha Macbeth: Gil?
    Bruce Mowbray: :)
    Bleu Oleander: "G"
    Bruce Mowbray: G is good.
    Eliza Madrigal: hahah
    Eliza Madrigal: Gilgamonster
    Bruce Mowbray: G is great.
    Agatha Macbeth: Might be confused with Gurdjieff then :p
    Eliza Madrigal: wait that's longer :P
    Bruce Mowbray: Yayyyy G!
    Eliza Madrigal: Notorious G
    Agatha Macbeth: A tale of 2 Gs
    Eliza Madrigal: Hm, still longer
    Tura Brezoianu: Gil
    Agatha Macbeth: Always makes me think of Gil-Galad
    Eliza Madrigal: I like that :)
    Bleu Oleander: G Epic
    Aphrodite Macbain stretches
    Eliza Madrigal: One interesting thing that came up when I searched "Why Read Gilgamesh" was connection with possible alien visitation
    Aphrodite Macbain: gilly
    Bleu Oleander: EOG = epic of gilgamesh?
    Agatha Macbeth: 6 foot Aph
    Agatha Macbeth: Really Liz?
    Eliza Madrigal: EOG... I like the way that sounds in my mind YOG
    Bruce Mowbray listens to possible alien connection.
    Tura Brezoianu: Yog-Sothoth
    Bleu Oleander: alien visitation?!?!?
    Eliza Madrigal: There were all sorts of things, but yes that was in there
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: He was kinda weird looking- unearthly
    Agatha Macbeth: Just don't mention Hastur :p
    --BELL--1.15
    Agatha Macbeth ponders a little grey Gilgamesh
    Bleu Oleander: don't remember 'aliens' in EOG :)
    Eliza Madrigal: I took it as a sign that there is something for everyone in there
    Aphrodite Macbain: He's bigger than the lion he holds under one arm
    Agatha Macbeth: Shades of Von Däniken
    Eliza Madrigal: must always keep google handy with you Aggers
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes I do go on a bit
    Tura Brezoianu: Googling /gilgamesh alien/ turns up a rich vein of ... something.
    Eliza Madrigal: you throw out such references
    Eliza Madrigal: probably the aliens are fanfiction?
    Agatha Macbeth: Enkidu's a lad too
    Aphrodite Macbain: A nicer one
    Agatha Macbeth: Kind of a Tarzan character
    Bleu Oleander: it seems a stretch to say that there are 'aliens' in EOG but might be fanfiction :)
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Interesting that there was a real Gilgamesh
    Aphrodite Macbain: Are we going to advertise this discussion about Gilgamesh beyond Pabber?
    Eliza Madrigal: yes
    Eliza Madrigal: Stevie has already listed it to begin next week
    Bruce Mowbray: Let's do advertise it.
    Bleu Oleander: yes Steve will list it
    Aphrodite Macbain: great
    Bruce Mowbray nods.
    Aphrodite Macbain: so I can tell my friends in Italy?
    Eliza Madrigal: sure!
    Bleu Oleander: and we put a poster in front of the pavilion too
    Bruce Mowbray: Fur shure, Aph.
    Eliza Madrigal: you always can you know :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Mama mia
    Aphrodite Macbain: :0)
    Eliza Madrigal: Oh, I didn't see the poster yet
    Eliza Madrigal zooms around
    Aphrodite Macbain: Me neither
    Agatha Macbeth: We'll keep the pizza ready
    Bleu Oleander: gives out a nc with schedule
    Eliza Madrigal: that's great Bleu, thank you. I walked right by it
    Aphrodite Macbain: oh. I'll look in my email
    Agatha Macbeth: Groovy
    Eliza Madrigal: nice image angle, too
    Bleu Oleander: it would be fun if some new peeps come
    Eliza Madrigal: agreed
    Agatha Macbeth studies the notecard
    Aphrodite Macbain: That's not Gilgamesh on the poster- it's Asssssssirbanipal
    Aphrodite Macbain: an assyrian king
    Agatha Macbeth: Old Ash?
    Agatha Macbeth: Bless him
    Aphrodite Macbain: Good ol
    Eliza Madrigal: oh?
    Aphrodite Macbain: No
    Eliza Madrigal: why's that guy on all the pages then? lol
    Aphrodite Macbain: It's one of the Near Eastern sculptures in the Louvrer
    Agatha Macbeth: Don't think many of those Mesopotamian kings were 'good'
    Aphrodite Macbain: I dont know
    Aphrodite Macbain: there are other images of Gilgamesh
    Agatha Macbeth: Mostly very Saddam-ish
    Aphrodite Macbain: they smote many people
    Bruce Mowbray: and crocodiles.
    Aphrodite Macbain: and alligators
    Agatha Macbeth: Sadly seems to be a national sport in that part of the world
    Agatha Macbeth: No different today
    Aphrodite Macbain: Like wolf hunting
    Eliza Madrigal feels her energy eeking away as mind turns to news
    Agatha Macbeth: Eeky energy?
    Aphrodite Macbain: come back Eliza!
    Bleu Oleander: Ashurbanipal was a king who built a library and had copies of the EOG ... probably wouldn't have know about the story if not for him
    Aphrodite Macbain: nods
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh he was OK then
    Eliza Madrigal lassos her mind
    Agatha Macbeth: Anyone who builds libraries is OK
    Aphrodite Macbain: Interesting to think of libraries as assemblies of clay tablets
    Bleu Oleander: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashurbanipal
    Aphrodite Macbain: On heavy rain and poof!
    Aphrodite Macbain: One
    Agatha Macbeth: Clay lies still but blood's a rover
    Tura Brezoianu: The British Museum has a major exhibition on Ashurbanipal coming up in November
    Agatha Macbeth: Ooh
    Aphrodite Macbain: Cool!
    Aphrodite Macbain: You Brits can check it out. They have an amazing collection
    Tura Brezoianu: But I think I'm the only one here in easy distance of it.
    Bleu Oleander: BM has one of the largest collections of tablets most of which haven't been translated yet
    Aphrodite Macbain: Aggers can take the train
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
    Eliza Madrigal: wiki describes that image as "Ancient Assyrian statue currently in the Louvre, possibly representing Gilgamesh"
    Agatha Macbeth: Doubtless there'll be something on the net about it
    Aphrodite Macbain: In the 60s I studied Sumerian and had cue cards in cuneiform. An absurt thing to do with my time..
    Eliza Madrigal: (just deciding whether to leave it up on the schedule page)
    Bleu Oleander: yes, I don't think they know for sure 'who' that image is of
    Eliza Madrigal: Oh my, Aph
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh wonderful Aphie
    Aphrodite Macbain: there is a wonderful image of Gilgamesh holding a lion
    Agatha Macbeth: Grr
    Aphrodite Macbain: I was studying Near Eastern Archaeology
    Bleu Oleander: that looks like this image, no?
    Eliza Madrigal: maybe that's what throws it into question, the lion factor :)
    Agatha Macbeth: An excellent subject
    Bleu Oleander: he seems to be holding a lion
    Aphrodite Macbain: Great collection of bulls and assyrian heros
    Agatha Macbeth: It's not Aslan
    Aphrodite Macbain: no
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Eliza Madrigal listens with interest
    Tura Brezoianu: Maybe the image was intended to portray Ashurbanipal as Gilgamesh
    --BELL--1.30
    Aphrodite Macbain: Near Eastern: Ur, Uruk, etc
    Agatha Macbeth: Good point
    Eliza Madrigal: that's a thought
    Agatha Macbeth: Uruk = Iraq
    Aphrodite Macbain: I dodubt it
    Aphrodite Macbain: Holding a lion was a symbol of strength
    Agatha Macbeth: Yep like the girl in the tarot card
    Bleu Oleander: G ruled in 2700 BCE way before A
    Aphrodite Macbain: nods
    Agatha Macbeth: Even earlier than Sargon then
    Aphrodite Macbain: He was a myth for a long time
    Aphrodite Macbain: yes
    Bruce Mowbray: That image came up when I Googled images of Gilgamesh. I doubt that it's authentic -- maybe done very recently.
    Aphrodite Macbain: earlier than Sargon
    Eliza Madrigal: fantastic image... trying to save it :)
    Bleu Oleander: everything is done more recently than G
    Aphrodite Macbain: It would be interesting to find out Bruce
    Aphrodite Macbain: Sargon of Akkad
    Tura Brezoianu: Looks like Gil is overseeing the slaves working to build the walls of Uruk
    Bleu Oleander: the story is mostly written down much later than G actually lived
    Aphrodite Macbain: Do you think Gil was a real person?
    Agatha Macbeth: Like Arthur
    Eliza Madrigal: or perhaps a combination of figures?
    Agatha Macbeth: He was a king, no?
    Aphrodite Macbain: I know but I wonder...
    Agatha Macbeth: Aphie in wonder land
    Bleu Oleander: I think "they" think he really did exist
    Bleu Oleander: the "they" who study that kinda thing :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Hard to disentangle myth and history that far back
    Eliza Madrigal nods
    Bleu Oleander: pre-history for sure
    Eliza Madrigal: stories that inflated kings egos tend to get passed down as supernatural myths
    Aphrodite Macbain: nods
    Eliza Madrigal: but this also seems more complex than that
    Tura Brezoianu: According to the intro, the great walls of Uruk have surviving traces from 2700 BC, so if Gil was historical, he would have lived then.
    Eliza Madrigal: some not so flattering tales, eh?
    Tura Brezoianu: Wikipedia confidently says he was, but [citation needed]
    Eliza Madrigal: Ah :)
    Bleu Oleander: a lit of ancient Mesopotamian kings from 2nd millennium bce names Gilgamesh
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh those citations
    Eliza Madrigal: he's in the yearbook
    Bleu Oleander: stories were first written around 2100 bce
    Bleu Oleander: old versions of the epic date to 1700 bce
    Bleu Oleander: but the translation we're reading is from later versions
    Aphrodite Macbain: Interesting how his beard is knotted like those of the Assyrian kings .. that's a long time for a style toprevail.
    Agatha Macbeth: A knotty problem
    Aphrodite Macbain: They must have had great barbers and hair dressers
    Bleu Oleander: the work was probably done much later at a time when G couldn't 'sit' for the artist :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: I think so Bleu
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: But images of heroes and gods seem to stay the same over time, and are recognizable
    Bleu Oleander: the intro to our edition gives a nice history of the epic
    Aphrodite Macbain: Yes
    Bleu Oleander: just think how many 'looks' Jesus has had over the years and various cultures :)
    Eliza Madrigal: he looks like who is looking at him
    Aphrodite Macbain: He was clean-shaven in early representations
    Bleu Oleander: somehow they always look like the people in the cultures they're from
    Agatha Macbeth: Didn't have a knotty beard tho
    Aphrodite Macbain: no- he was from a culture further west
    Bleu Oleander: wasn't blond either
    Eliza Madrigal: >shocked<
    Agatha Macbeth: Knotty knotty definitely knotty
    Bleu Oleander: it is shocking!!!
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    Bleu Oleander: hehe
    Aphrodite Macbain: Often god was portrayed with a long beard but christ was beardless
    Eliza Madrigal: have to earn your beard by living to old age
    Bleu Oleander: not in the movie I saw about him LOL
    Aphrodite Macbain: so we could know the difference
    Agatha Macbeth: Didn't the archetypal image of Christ come from the Turin shroud?
    Aphrodite Macbain: no - in early christian carvings and mosaics
    Aphrodite Macbain: much earlier
    Bleu Oleander: I saw the earliest wall painting depicting Jesus in the Yale collection ... he was beardless with dark curly short hair :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: wish I could remember all the dates...sigh
    Aphrodite Macbain: did it say what date Bleu?
    Bleu Oleander: 2nd century ce Syria
    Bleu Oleander: in a home church
    Aphrodite Macbain: k
    --BELL--1.45

    At this point Wordsmith Jarvinen sends me a pumpkin

                      2.jpg

    Bruce Mowbray: po ?
    Bruce Mowbray: pi?
    Aphrodite Macbain: a pumpkin tis way comes
    Eliza Madrigal: cute :)
    Bruce Mowbray: lol
    Agatha Macbeth: Have a bit of pi
    Aphrodite Macbain: pi!
    Aphrodite Macbain: pumpkin pie
    Bleu Oleander: sorry have to run ... take care all and see you next week for EOG :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: byee
    Agatha Macbeth: Aww
    Eliza Madrigal: bye Bleu, see you next week
    Aphrodite Macbain: waves
    Agatha Macbeth: TC Bleu
    Bruce Mowbray: bye Bleu. Thanks.
    Tura Brezoianu: bye Bleu

    Aphrodite Macbain: How is the dream session going? Good attendance?
    Eliza Madrigal: I can see that I have catching up to do before next week
    Eliza Madrigal: it is going very well, Aph
    Eliza Madrigal: the group of us is about 5 or 6 every week, and the development is interesting
    Agatha Macbeth: (It's a copyable pumpkin if anyone wants one)
    Eliza Madrigal: we're learning a lot
    Aphrodite Macbain: I'd come but I hardly ever remember my dreams
    Agatha Macbeth: Same here
    Eliza Madrigal: Zen is reading the book that Bruce sent the audios about
    Aphrodite Macbain: they poof as soon as I wake
    Eliza Madrigal: so now we're moving into "healing dreams"
    Bruce Mowbray: ahhh!
    Aphrodite Macbain: Are there any other?
    Eliza Madrigal: I hope you would come anyway whenever you're available
    Eliza Madrigal: I think that even when dreams aren't remembered fully, they affect our lives
    Aphrodite Macbain: or reflect them
    Eliza Madrigal nods
    Aphrodite Macbain: I find it amazing how my mind can remember people from my past and bring them into a contemporary dream
    Eliza Madrigal: isn't that curious
    Agatha Macbeth agrees with Liz
    Eliza Madrigal: does that happen for you often?
    Aphrodite Macbain: "where did you come from?"
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Bruce Mowbray: It happens for me a lot.
    Aphrodite Macbain: Occasionally but I always remember it because it's so strange
    Eliza Madrigal: do they seem themselves as you remember them, or to 'mean' something else?
    Aphrodite Macbain: I suspect they mean something else although they seem real at the time
    Bruce Mowbray: For me, they seem like themselves - as I remember them.
    Aphrodite Macbain: Certain old boyfriends keep turning up
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: or a teacher
    Eliza Madrigal: do the teachers say things?
    Aphrodite Macbain: they all say things
    Aphrodite Macbain: and I talk back
    Bruce Mowbray: :)
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
    Aphrodite Macbain: I'm told I talk and laugh in my sleep constantly
    Eliza Madrigal: that's wonderful
    Aphrodite Macbain: HArd for anyone in the same room
    Eliza Madrigal: especially if you're visiting old boyfriends
    Eliza Madrigal: haha
    Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh my
    Bruce Mowbray: Oh dear.
    Eliza Madrigal giggles
    Aphrodite Macbain: I have been forced to sleep in the cupboards occasionally
    Agatha Macbeth: Good lord
    Eliza Madrigal: What a funny thing, Aph
    Aphrodite Macbain: Big cupboards
    Aphrodite Macbain: I was at a Zen - week long silent retreat when this happened
    Aphrodite Macbain: I ended up sleeping in the cloakroom
    Aphrodite Macbain: :)
    Bruce Mowbray wonders whether this pumpkin will turn into a carriage. . .
    Eliza Madrigal: Can't wait for you to write those stories
    Aphrodite Macbain: Write them?
    Aphrodite Macbain: where?
    Eliza Madrigal: Retreats in general seem to bring strong dream things to the surface, to where one is wondering what is inside or outside
    Aphrodite Macbain: yes
    Eliza Madrigal: was just remembering we had almost convinced you to write about your life, Aph :))
    Aphrodite Macbain: especially when they are silent
    Aphrodite Macbain: smiles
    Aphrodite Macbain: I plan to write something
    Eliza Madrigal: I've never been on a week long silent retreat...would love to
    Aphrodite Macbain: The silence is great
    Eliza Madrigal: actually would like to go away for 3 months, or.. years
    Aphrodite Macbain: No need to make conversation
    Aphrodite Macbain: Go away and not speak Eliza?
    Tura Brezoianu: sit in a cave in Tibet?
    Eliza Madrigal: In a Zen retreat everything is much clearer isn't it... to follow directions, etc
    Eliza Madrigal: :) well, speak a little if years
    Agatha Macbeth: I'll believe that when I see it
    Eliza Madrigal: yes Tura, exactly :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: yes. Very structured. No confusion.
    Aphrodite Macbain: with a sanga around you
    Eliza Madrigal: did you know the others?
    Aphrodite Macbain: sitting silently
    Aphrodite Macbain: some
    Aphrodite Macbain: eating silently
    Aphrodite Macbain: walking silently
    Aphrodite Macbain: sitting silently
    Aphrodite Macbain: so nice
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    Aphrodite Macbain: I felt at peace and much stronger afterwards. For about 3 days...
    Eliza Madrigal: stronger physically?
    Aphrodite Macbain: emotionally
    Aphrodite Macbain: peaceful
    Aphrodite Macbain: patient
    Agatha Macbeth: Makes sense
    Eliza Madrigal: enough space to maneuver the bumps
    Aphrodite Macbain: somehwat removed
    Aphrodite Macbain: yes
    Aphrodite Macbain: a distance between me and the world
    Aphrodite Macbain: a buffer
    --BELL--2.00
    Aphrodite Macbain: I recommend it
    Aphrodite Macbain: bumps are softer
    Eliza Madrigal: It is on my 'list'
    Aphrodite Macbain: how long is your list?
    Eliza Madrigal: I loved the silent days we had during some pab retreats
    Aphrodite Macbain: nods
    Eliza Madrigal: not too long, but things seem to take a while anyway :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: yes
    Agatha Macbeth: True
    Bruce Mowbray: Needing to scrape u suer now.
    Bruce Mowbray: Be well everyone.
    Eliza Madrigal: be well, Bruce!
    Agatha Macbeth: Scrape well Brucie
    Eliza Madrigal: see you next week :))
    Tura Brezoianu: bye Bruce
    Bruce Mowbray: _/|\_
    Aphrodite Macbain: speaking of things "to do" I have given up moving house until the spring
    Aphrodite Macbain: bye Bruce
    Agatha Macbeth: Good thinking
    Eliza Madrigal: you'll begin looking again?
    Bruce Mowbray: Bye for now.
    Aphrodite Macbain: yes
    Eliza Madrigal: no hurry I guess
    Aphrodite Macbain: It was too stressful during the hot summer. So I got this stupid Bell's Palsy
    Aphrodite Macbain: I'll work on it during the winder
    Aphrodite Macbain: and winter
    Eliza Madrigal nods... do it when you feel excited to
    Eliza Madrigal: as long as you can care for yourself where you are, no hurry right?
    Aphrodite Macbain: right!
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: It's like falling in love. It happens when things are just right
    Eliza Madrigal: let's all move in with Aggers
    Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
    Aphrodite Macbain: Put me in the cupboard
    Eliza Madrigal: in love, Aph? :)
    Eliza Madrigal: hahah
    Aphrodite Macbain: You "know" if it's right
    Eliza Madrigal: ah :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Aphrodite Macbain: Time for me go .... so nice to be here again
    Eliza Madrigal: So I can't call you and ask, "Is this right, Aph?"
    Eliza Madrigal grins
    Eliza Madrigal: Bye for now Aph, see you next week
    Aphrodite Macbain: maybe Eliza
    Agatha Macbeth: Bye fer noo Aphie

    Aphrodite Macbain: by noo
    Tura Brezoianu: bye Aph

    Agatha Macbeth: So there we have it
    Eliza Madrigal: of all things to be drawn back to sessions by... Gilgamesh
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Worse things could draw you back
    Eliza Madrigal: yep
    Agatha Macbeth: I must say I'm looking forward to it
    Eliza Madrigal: I'm more interested now
    Eliza Madrigal: just want to have the time to enjoy the reading and everything... hopefully it will work out as I plan
    Agatha Macbeth: I'm sure it will
    Eliza Madrigal: btw, this is one of the pages I looked at and mentioned earlier
    Eliza Madrigal: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-si...c-of-Gilgamesh
    Eliza Madrigal: this mentions the aliens and various other associations
    Agatha Macbeth: Aha
    Agatha Macbeth: Utnapishtim, the guy with the boat
    Eliza Madrigal: "Gil and the Boat Guy" an abridged epic by PaB
    Agatha Macbeth: Mmhm
    Eliza Madrigal: :))
    Agatha Macbeth: All good stuff
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh I see Eden gets in there again
    Eliza Madrigal: noticed that too :)

    Eliza Madrigal: see you soon
    Eliza Madrigal: And see you soon too, glamorous
    Agatha Macbeth: You have a lizard on your leg
    Eliza Madrigal: I do :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Is it a gekko?
    Eliza Madrigal: lizards are messengers, don't you know
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh of course
    Eliza Madrigal: I don't think it is a gecko...just an average every day lizard
    Agatha Macbeth: To the Aztecs? Or somebody?
    Eliza Madrigal: all through mexico and parts of south america I think
    Agatha Macbeth: Sounds vaguely Mesoamerican
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
    Eliza Madrigal: Certainly in Miami, we are besieged
    --BELL--1.15
    Eliza Madrigal: which most people aren't that happy about, but I love :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Heavy shell fire?
