| Message | interesting post about the teaching position. I myself am ABD - I simply stopped caring and never bothered to go the distance and defend. Several years ago a friend of mine at one of the Big 3 local universities called me in a panic - they had lost their "associate professor" for a masters course on a niche subect. A niche subject of which I am considered a local "expert". They called me, I said "sure", they printed the syllabus and everything and sent me a huge packet of forms to bring in the week before classes were to begin. When they found out I had never bothered to waste the the case of paper and $400.00 on robes, they summarily dropped me as "unqualified". Too bad for them, as they have yet to be able to fill that particular course's teaching slot. Apparently there are *no* experts who are qualified for their (abysmally poor) program. Be proud you stayed away from schools. They only teach you to conform, not to think. There hasn't been a "thinking university" since CCNY became CUNY - RPI & certain areas of MIT excepted. |

| Message | Mark, I saw that you are friends with Darren Patrick from The Journey, the church I attend. I'm virtually positive we went to Roosevelt together, especially because of your interest in photography, which was basically our point of contact back then. And you kinda look like Mark would look after 30+ years! Thought I'd say hi and was curious how you know Darren. Sounds like things have gone well for you. Peace Dan Brouk |

| Message | I got a copy of Mirage at the CCMWG Write Direction workshop in Columbia in October 2008. Reading it was like going home. Thank you for prolonging the existence of the robots, and Aurora, and just everything. |

| Message | God bless you and greetings cousins! I'm playing on my PC, and thought I'd scope out your site a bit more. Damn Mark! You really make me grin. I'm so glad we could connect again. Really! Donna love, that's to you as well. :) I'm selling cars again. Chevys, new and used. This store does alot of biz. It's hard on me, with all the standing around between clients tho'. It's aliving.. Church goes well. I met and "led to Christ" the lead guitarist of KORN last month. He just stopped in and wanted God in his life. I helped to make the introduction. ;) He's staight and didn't know he was in a "gay church", as we are often called. That's God for you. He's the One directing the show. "Used Car Salesman leads Rock Star to Christ in a gay church!" What a headline that would make, huh? How's the folks? I will get a line out to them soon, prob. w/some photos of your visit and of the ancestors{copies}. How did your pics come out? I hope to see them posted. Well, it's Nov. Have a blessed Thanksgiving. Love to you all.. Mike |

| Message | First read the Robot books and tremendously enjoyed them! Very exciting addition to Mr. Asimov's work! Then found and enjoyed Remains! Now, I've just gotten hold of Compass Reach! I can't wait to get into it! Keep up the original, clever, and intriguing writing and we'll keep reading! |

| Message | Just purchased "Have Robot Will Travel" from Amazon. Don't know how I missed it when originally published. More after I'm sure a good read. |
