Dear k.a.r. and Cari,
      I apologize for, my one time instructor and friend*, the darling
of Frameworks, Tony Conrad's behavior. He obviously has just filled
his prescription for medical marijuana. Which is surprising because I
know they just passed that bill in Michigan but when did they pass it
in New York? The last I knew that bill was working its way through the
New York legislature.
      It has many legitimate usages as you may know but it also has
several definite side effects. Tony is "in his cups" so to speak. If
you understand.

* Long ago Tony once loaned me his Canon Super 8 camera with the
homemade customized removable lens. That was mighty nice of him.
