- Well, *since* you asked, yes and no. This is more
- a machine of convenience, rather than my usual 'elea'
- [about which I should write, explaining the obvious

- eventually.

- I'd pretty much have to say the same thing--it's been
- quite a year, quite a *good* year I'd say [and I will
- have more to say], and I'm only in the mood for things
- to keep getting better. It's a bit difficult in the
- midst of that to maintain my usual mean spiritedness.

- He's a *very* sensible bear, and so far he hasn't
- gotten this one wrong once. Nevertheless, one keeps
- checking, just to be sure....
