You will understand when I say that the books in my father's house were like a 3d parent to me... things, to be sure, but imbued with great psychic energy. Snuffed out by greed and indifference. Between 9/11 and Katrina, I want my decade back. --dan I’m still depressed about Katrina, and I wasn’t even there.
