I knew someone who lived in Medina. They lived in a very high-priced home -- and drove an old beat-up mini-pickup truck!! We even talked about aliens. I knew a very smart and sexy former Microsoft employee (who lived in a very nice waterfront home -- and drove a Mercedes). We discussed the future of computers -- and I expressed my bias toward small and wearable computing devices. She told me that Bill thought otherwise. This was in the late 1990's. I knew an attorney around that time who thought that Bill was evil. A person who had done writing for Robert Schuller told me that I reminded him of Bill Gates. As a child, I was actually working on a simple personal-computer design (using a TV) before Apple was founded. I think I've even talked to one of the original Microsoft people -- about coconut-water. Sherry Shriner says that Satan and Bill are Best-Buddies. Strange. How come I turned out to be such a reprehensible dud. People honestly avoid me -- and say nasty things behind my back. I even found an image of the demon Azazel which looks a lot like I did as a child. So much for dating.

I think you've had and still do or can have an interesting life, ortho with your unique sense of humor. Also you've had a peculiar couple of meetings with others, after having read the above part of your post. Wonder what you think goes on in that head of the young man in
blue satin costume, the feathered hat in his hands and his Louis 14th shoes. What does his face, his eyes, reveal of his thoughts, you think, ortho?
