Honestly, R, I've never seen you look so happy, so settled in a place, so content to be in your own skin. The photos I've seen from this part of your trip speak volumes to me about who you are at the core, what you want to achieve in life, and where you may possibly prosper at the end of your life cycle. Yes I know, California has been good to you. But do you want to live in San Ho forever? And... Holland has been a good friend to you as well. I send you many happy thoughts, and I look FW to seeing your photos of the Bosch trip (as you would expect). :) :) If you see our mutual friend Peter and Mayken please give them my best. :) I'm thinking of them every day as you make your way through the old Dutch Homeland. your friend "on the happy road" etc a. d.

(I am in your picture of the audience, the guy with the white hair and light sweater on the fifth row). I am an old-time SF reader & fan, basically cyberpunk is not my favorite kind but I have read some of it, years ago. I admit I have not read any of your books thus far but this may change now that I have heard your talk. The main reason why I attended was that you wrote this book on the Fourth Dimension (sorry, I did not yet read that one either). I am doing research on Dr Dionys Burger, the Dutch author of 'Sphereland', the sequel to Abbott's Flatland. In your talk you touched on the issue of multiple dimensions and I presume that you still have an interest therein. Somthing completely different: your transcription of the name Marijke (Maryke with umlaut) is not correct. The only correct spelling is Marijke, with i and j separate. The diphthong rendered as IJ or ij has a long history in our language; in old times it was also spelled Y or y but never with what you call umlaut (which it is not either). In fact, Dionys Burger's proper name in Dutch is Dionijs Burger but in foreign publications he called himself Dionys. Your talk was very interesting.
