Mark,
I've had very similar experience to the surprise arrival of #9. I felt
an immediate flush of fever, accompanied by stiffness in the neck,
numbness in the extremities, and a persistent resentment towards my
Day Planner. The symptoms became unbearable when I launched tangents
regarding similarities between Stieglitz and Freud (A Show of Camera
Work, page 2).
I canceled three shoots, given how ill I was feeling, and even thought
of backing out on my daughter's wedding. . . .
As for the (so-called) Farewell Address (. . . please. . . ), don't you
believe a word of it. There's just no way. It's inconceivable. Pure
fiction. I don't doubt that Judy believes it, mind you--delusions can
be quite powerful. Not to worry. I have duct tape. Lot's of it. And
plenty enough velcro.

Regards to all,
John
