Man, if you ask around people will tell you about my screwy brain .
Given the 30+ years of my addiction to orchids , the orchid related stuff is relatively easy.
As to the theological stuff (with the exception of the City of G-d) , it seems that I may need a mystic experience to understand how to do sieving ( Aside to Moose: I will email you soon) .
As to reading stuff in English , Alas all but the writings of St John of the Cross will be in English. Drat I remember my youngling days, when i was able to read stuff in Latin and Biblical Hebrew.
Yes , I read mostly boring stuff. Long gone are the days when I wrote research projects that involved content analysis of porn and Mexican Political Cartoons or mappings of arrest locations with codings for gender , race and age of both the prostitutes and johns processed in Prostitution Court ( that quaint institution existed in Chicago for Years.)
Ah to carry the cases of punched card thorugh the campus of Loyola University of Chicago Lake Shore Campus and latter Kent State University in Ohio in the middle of Winter. ( Yes, I am old: I punched cards to enter data.)
