She’s wrong, though, about your web site. Your web site is an excellent resource for those young people (and the occasional old fart like me) to see that there is a coming generation of smart and thoughtful people who, if they survive their own self indulgence, will have lots to add to the world.

Much of what you write is funny and insightful. I think you know this. And much is ca ca. I think you know that too.

The only real criticism I have is that there is an overtone of posing going on, Raymi. You try a little too hard to be a nihilist.

Just be what you are: an artist in process. And lay off the booze and dope. It will steal every last ounce of your gift, in time.
