   I still have to mash the potatoes and make the gravy, but I am re-reading all the last few weeks blogs to figure out the meaning of this collage. Merry Christmas!

   Merry Christmas to you too! I’m still figuring it out as well. Tip: Real and Anon are two proximate barrios in Puerto Rico. Genesis’ “Lamb” (greatest concept album ever?) character Rael from PR and 1st seen emerging from NYC subway with (spray) gun. Peter Gabriel said he wanted to use the gritty NYC location to make Rael more “real” within story. I believe Tessa is trapped on a Bellisaria I. that approximates Manhattan and its Central Park, as determined by other means. *Surely* it will all make sense in the end!

   Ha! I wanted to tell you how much I admire your dedication to your art, even if I don’t follow it… and here you are extolling the virtues of ‘The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway’… one of the formative albums of my human’s life! That album is so vastly more sophisticated/complex than most of what is produced today, it might as well be opera… alien, space opera, from another dimension… not to say there isn’t amazing shit being done today, but, somehow, it’s less consumed than amazing shit was, back then… anyway, I DO admire your dedication to your art (:

     I’ll check out more of your blog soon. https://seraphimplacebo.com/2019/12/23/ten-years-old/ Insilico is a cool place — recognize 1 or 2 of the other locations you mention just in browsing. Met an important character named Old Mabel (Martian) at the Blue Ant ’bout 3 years back. https://bakerbloch.com/2016/11/26/old-oldest-gone/

       The Blue Ant isn’t what/where it used to be, but it’s still iconic (:
