An Update 9.24.06

Will, the anguished artist, burning the candle at all sides. Take it easier, young man, and save some of the genius for the later years, eh?

I am glad you are well enough to at least post this, my dear friend. You are doing the right thing; for a while there you were so prolific, protean and madly dionysian-erotic I feared a Byronesque denouement--no human being can keep up that rate of literary ziggurat jumping, web design building, terrorism network mapping, simbot babe jumping, and slow leak of a shiva finally sat without suffering the English Romantic's final exhaustions, or worse, like Zarathustra suddenly jacknifing into Ecce Homo, his fingers playing mindlessly on the piano keys for the next twenty years of dementia while his repressive passive-aggressive sister exacted her revenge for not having received an equal portion of genius by enacting a soul-murdering puppet regime on him, poor bastard, Friedrich Nietzche.
I want you to live until the 22nd Century (you know you will if you take good care of yourself, with new life prolonging techniques fresh from the embryo labs and the genome project.) I want you to go from pre Sim to what follows afterward, prophesying and poeticizing and fictionalizing in that inimitable Evans voice we've all gotten used to as our only equivalent for Joyce/Amis/Gaddis/Pynchon on Gather.
I want a lot of things for you, will.
So here's the Spanish toast: !Amor, dinero y salud!
Pero, sobre todo, salud! (Love, Money, Health. But above all, health!)

You are missed , Will, but you will be missed much more if you implode . I love hearing the relaxed focus and honing of prioritized intent in your words. You can't be a surface cruising missive and a depth charge at the same time. You have coursed through so many universes recently. Sit a sweet slice of the cosmos by your side for a while and slowly savor her centering essences until you never want to leave home without her heart strings keeping you groundedl.
Love to you and prayers for healing!

Good to see you writing today because it means you are feeling better :). Take care of yourself first and foremost. Everything else is second.

Will, I was wondering what happened to you! Just take it easy, as you need to be back at 100% for the New Yorker Festival!
