underlying.

resp:2 No. I totally disagree, Dan-- I got it, but perhaps it's
because it reminds me so much of my divergent and eclectic mind.
Really. I got a sense that the author is paying minimal attention to
the conversation at hand-- a one-sided conversation, at that, so he
tells us of what small points he remembers while describing his mental
drift in much more detail.
It's truly amazing.. I don't think anyone has ever captured a moment of
the wandering mind so pithily, articulately, and eloquently.
also makes me feel better about myself, in a strange way.. not everyone
understands my mental flux, and I don't meet many who think in a
similar fashion. It's nice to see something that seems to point to an
understanding

This is a total tangent, but I had a good laugh when, as we were
stranded near an accident scene late last night, I caught my girlfriend
watching one particularly well-built firefighter, and called her out - "OK,
put your eyes back in your head now!". We both had a good laugh out of it.
I figure that people are going to be attracted to other people, regardless
of whether they're involved or not - it's a biological urge - and as long as
they don't carry it too far, then everything's good.
