A tone of regret, perhaps, in Jack's recapping of his weekend?
We've noted lately in conversations with colleagues that Jack's writings have increasingly become not merely a source of interesting meditation on the mind and body, and the pinball role of the human form, bouncing about in a hyper-wired world of entertainment and dazzlements, but also a source of news. Indeed, many of our associates on the West Coast seem to look to Jack as kind of torn up newspaper, offering hints of the stories worth reading, but not full details.
This is an interesting experiment in information theory, and one that no doubt Jack has many reasons to be proud of. What can one extrapolate about external events from the redigested brain blatherings of one of the participants?
But we here at Somenotions find this development somewhat regrettable if it results in Jack turning, as he seems to today, from a higher level of musing to a more mundane recitation of things that transpired. We look to Jack for a more refined type of commentary, not to serve as a mere boozy weekend Tom Brokaw.
