2001jan31. I have been thinking a lot about what will happen after I die and civilization, ten thousand years from now, decides to reanimate someone who lived both in the 20th and 21st centuries and it just randomly turns out to be me. I suppose at that point a representative would speak:
“What can you tell us about the 20th and 21st centuries? What can you show us from that long-ago time?”And I would grab his arm do one of those raspberries on it. Long, hard. Several breaths. “Sorry,” I would say. “that’s really all I can remember.”
