An ode to randomness takes on a romantic quality of its own, something weirdly human between you and your “harem” of computers since 1976.
Like memories of past loves your computer tales have meaning to you so that an unusual, rare outcome in Solitaire has no external significance to Dr. Rosen, the mathematical rationalist, whereas it raises the eyebrows of Dr. Rosen, the emotionally oriented psychiatrist who dissects out the meaning in personal events. Cannot the complexity of the hippocampus-cortical connectivity put us in thrall of benign arrays of Jekyll and Hyde differences in the internal configurations of who we are and what we feel about this and that, whether trivial or not so?
Thanks again for your mind-piquing ideas
When will the psychiatrist in you approach the most intriguing Jekyll-Hyde dilemma of our day — gender fluidity in children and adolescents from classroom to the clinic?
As usual, you have caused me to think while at the same time stirring my pot of still remaining memories. I appreciate the memories that bubble to the surface (including my finding the DOS software an enemy to be conquered at my first encounter), but appreciate even more that the underlying karma of all of your articles cause me to think a lot more and for a lot longer (than my usual span of attention) about both Time and Life. My hope is for you to continue writing. My brain continues to enjoy the challenges and the memories as they bubble up.

I too play solitaire. In fact I play quite often and will now count how many games in a row I may win. Thanks for the challenge
