Three years or thirty, our words perdure, but at the same time it is the most ephemeral of mediums, once society crumbles and electricity fails and the nuclear power stations blow up there will be no way for future archeologists (presumably from another planet) to retrieve our information. Will try to catch up with your present self when I have some time, I can't quite remember what I was searching for when I came to this entry.<br />Un saludoJeremy ffrench Birminghamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36609540.post-19197702803214822182012-07-30T08:11:58.329-05:002012-07-30T08:11:58.329-05:00Oh, was that Jules Feiffer?

Another Feiffer we loved was two guys sitting across from each other with feet propped up on the coffee table, looking very relaxed. One says, "one of these days we've got to get organized." I still say that. This post was 3 years ago, and I did finish the book, Chased By Death, but haven't tried to sell it.Grapeshot/Odettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625862990225356412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36609540.post-33185222750569147052012-07-28T11:25:30.515-05:002012-07-28T11:25:30.515-05:00"It's a full life, Charlie" is from ..."It's a full life, Charlie" is from a Jules feiffer cartoon originally published in the village voice, I seem to remember a smug man in dressing gown showing off his toys and in the end he says the famous phrase. The cartoon was a criticism of the consumer society. Born in the twenties of last century Mr Feiffer, I believe, is still alive and still working. Hope your question was not just rhetorical.Jeremy ffrench Birminghamnoreply@blogger.com
