The dreaded computer maintenance session is now set for first thing Tuesday morning. You’ll be hearing from me again someday, if I survive….

Like I said before, later.

“There are two things that I hate: analysis and power. A conductor can avoid neither the one nor the other. Conducting’s not for me.”

Sviatoslav Richter (quoted in Bruno Monsaingeon, Sviatoslav Richter: Notebooks and Conversations)

I seem to be functioning again, albeit clumsily (I’m learning my way around an upgraded operating system) and with one little problem, which is that I no longer have any of my e-mail addresses. The good news is that my snail-mail address file survived the switch, but for the moment and possibly for longer, the chances are high that I don’t have your e-mail address.

To repeat and reiterate this morning’s posting:

If you are a personal friend, editor, or professional colleague, please send an e-mail to my home address (not the “About Last Night” mailbox!) as soon as you see this message. It will help me reconstitute my e-mail address file in the short run, which is when I need it.

Don’t assume I have your address!

I look forward to hearing from you, sigh….

I’m in the middle of a computer meltdown. For now, probably for the rest of the day, and possibly for longer than that, I no longer have access to my address files, either e-mail or snail mail (including all my telephone numbers). As a result, do not expect to hear from me today.

If you are a personal friend or professional colleague who sees this posting and needs to get in touch with me, send an e-mail to my home address (i.e., not to my “About Last Night” mailbox).

I’ll be back when I’m back.
