The Alphabet

I've only read a few selections from The Alphabet and most of those I only glanced at briefly while having coffee with my friend Michael Hessel-Mial.

And I was equally delighted when I saw this flyer on Silliman's blog, just a few minutes ago.

So, here's to you Michael. And, if you read this, I still want to see what you wrote for your presentation. Maybe then I'll even make a point of diving into The Alphabet myself ...
