Such a dense piece. You must of sensed your parched readers have walked too long in the desert without your thoughts. Thanks for tilting your canteen ,letting us drink. Sincerely,David

Having traversed the long desert of emptier and fuller blogs, I've seen you (at least a time or two) paying homage. What's with your connection to Pete and his thoughts? What's wrong with the thoughts you own? I am curious.

I can name that pattern in one word

I very much like adding thoughts to what's already been thought of. Peter has accumulated the thoughts of others and built upon it. Isn't that how thinking works? If one plans on jumping into the pool of Depression, there is no better springboard then Peter D. Kramer. Buy a book and enjoy your swim. Sincerely,David
