Thank you for your response. We are doing fine waiting to see whether we have to fly home or will be able to stay on assignment. Are you currently working?

Hi Bruce. Great to hear from you and to know what is going on in your not so quarantined mind. My brain is still into the basics of cooking and thinking about food as always. The weather is here I wish you were beautiful, to quote another song lyric. However the weather here is absolutely beautiful and I wish you were here in Palm Beach County to enjoy it with me you and Marylee and Jonathan. Hope Jonathan is keeping safe in New York. Love to hear from you guys just through email or texting. This is the first of your essays that I have read I will go back and read previous ones now. Love you always

Another fascinating piece, Bruce. Sartre declared in that play that “Hell is other people”, suggesting what a tough job it is to step outside ourselves to see us as others do. We remain stuck in our own consciousness. You, however, manage to make the move into someone else’s world. Like the blend of pop music and philosophy too!

"We are currently in our own hui clos. Will we use this time of confinement to talk ... or ... thinking that everything is fine just the way it has been?" Will we? Thanks for bringing me back to reading. I hope I keep on.

Thanks for putting me on the list, Bruce. I remember well studying French existentialism as an undergrad philosophy major, with some wonderful teachers. Some of those old books are gonna come back off the shelf, cause I’ve finished all my stuff from the local library. Where are you?

I'm at Ramstein, at least for now. Thank you subscribing to my news letter. Hopefully the muse will stay with me and more essays will follow. Stay safe.
