TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Wednesday, September 10, 2003
Eunice, I represent the earthling residents of Philippines in welcoming you to its beautiful islands. It's a tropical paradise here, with dolphins jumping about outside the window and palm trees dropping coconuts on unaware swimmers... okay fine, it's typhoon season now (so the coconuts are in fact falling, but no one would be swimming) but I promise you it will be beautiful in the winter. Please, please stop over on your way to Taiwan, it's only an hour or two's plane ride away, and plane tickets to the Philippines are cheaper than ever now that all the foreign investors have backed off.

There's no need to say the invitation has always been extended to all of you. (I actually had a funny dream this afternoon in which Adam came to visit on his way to Vietnam to deliver snow... perhaps it's because I'd been reading about jellyfish just before I fell asleep)
