Beautiful Essay: Greg Jackson’s “Within the Pretense of No Pretense”

I might have something to say about this eventually. I want this here as a reference point. Tremendous essay, as well as Trow’s “Within the Context of No Context”

Here’s a link to Greg Jackson’s.

    • Nice to hear from you Mike. I have always enjoyed our conversations. I have to call your father — keep coming in from outside too late and tired. Hope he’s doing well.

      • he has come back strong from a tough month of battling pneumonia and internal bleeding from a stomach ulcer. While he was being treated in a regular hospital and then a rehabilitation hospital the family tag teamed Barry’s plan to move him to Houston near him. Kitty was on site packing his home when he was released and drove him to Barry’s home in Houston. Less than a week later he was moved into The Village, an assisted living facility. The pneumonia had stubbornly persisted through the transition but has finally been beaten by superior German persistence. Big Al is doing well. He and Ferd talk fairly often. A blessing, as is having the support of the the Shampnois and Sonderns.

      • That’s great. I want to talk to him again. I love the “superior German persistence,” or as my father used to say, “stubborn Huns.”
