Dear Lil' Stealthy:

Do I know what person? I know many personages. I have made a list (see attached) of all the many personages I count among my acquaintances -- you will find it a long list indeed.

For instance, among the 'C's, there is one Vincent Chapadeaux. You may have never heard me mention him by name but I know him nonetheless! He was my dear mother's hair consultant (when she still had the stuff) and he and I still exchange Christmas cards and mail each other cases of regional brand snack cakes on Roshashana (sp?). Do not query how that particular practice got its start.

In the science section of today's Daily Remembrance there was a note about some recent discovery regarding our old nemeses Alzheimer's Disease. As you are aware, old Al discovered plaque and tangles in the brains of deceased dementia patients -- the birth of the disease that now bears his name. The more recent discovery is that there is another section of the brain where totally different plaque is found. And here's the important part: IT'S MADE OF PROTEINS THAT CAN'T BE IDENTIFIED!!! Don't you see what this means? Your theory has at last gained credence in the "mainstream" scientific community. I refer of course to your assertions that the brains of Alzheimer's patients have been infested by space aliens who control their thoughts (hence their disconnection from our so-called "reality") and actions! These proteins are obviously the remains of the alien "controlling agent" who perished along with its host.

What is it like to be so far ahead of the learning curve of even the most gifted scientists? While I have trouble opening the screw-off cap on tonight's dinner, you are fathoming the grandest things.

Say a prayer for one so simple as I,

Gomez Garcia Garza
