It's just because Lenny talks more than he listens; Dean has
invoked your name with some regularity over the past 13-25 years.

I guess that would be Bill, minus the Alice Cooper makeup. Speaking
of films, the "olive picture" of 1980 is a favorite set of film snippets;
that's the one in which Bleuel has on the full-bore Alice face paint.

Keith, Eric and David all monitor this board on a semi-regular
basis. And Bill shows up at the occasional party. For instance,
he and his wife and stepdaughter were at my wedding (1997).

Keith: married to an academician wife, lives in S.M. Successful
career in computer graphics, largely at a single LA-based
company.

Eric: also successful in computer graphics, but with a more
peripatetic approach. Now living in the Bay Area, but sometimes
comes down to LA (a few days here, a year or two there) to enjoy
the beach.

David Linden: Married to an academician wife, two children. Lives
in Baltimore, where he is a professor of neuroscience at Johns
Hopkins University. Just got published in *Science.* Plans on
writing a guide to neuroscience for lay people.

Nothing vague OR cloudy about Mike.

And, apparently, cat lover. Ah, well. No one's perfect.
