After getting up so late, I stopped over at Susan's. She was at Acme and I was about to leave when Walter and I got into a lively discussion, prompted by his remark about "the Chinese and Russians" hacking into "our" computers. I took exception to that and we had a back-and-forth exchange, but it was cordial. Our talk centered in a shadowy way on "words versus math and science," but ranged all over the map.
Walter is a retired electrical engineer who now studies personality. His interest is not the "he's shy because his mother was a strip tease artist" type. It's all math and formulas and synapses and so on. A few years ago, Walter wrote a book called The Psychology of Consciousness, which he gave me.
Anyhoo, the rest of the day was fun. I went shopping with a companion, then had dinner at her place. Home by 7:00.
Going to the Haggerstone's Super Bowl party tonight. Don't even know who's playing and don't care, but I'll enjoy the social aspect.
