This is fabulous. Paul told me a about this intelligent robot making a break for it. Paul feels a certain compassion for robots. They do a lot of our work and we don't even say thanks, sometimes even forgetting about them. They're out there, rolling inside volcanoes, spinning through space and crawling along ocean floors, diligently gathering information for us and we don't even remember their names...

I decided to refrain from the 9/11 reflections. Enjoyed the media analysis on various sites, perused the onion and salon. Mostly decided that I needed to do more of the save-the-world stuff (a.k.a. nonprofit work) I'm engaging in daily and then wind up the day with a long conversational dinner with close friends.
