Ghost

A ghostly looking woman, who said she believed in reincarnation, but does not intend to die anyway, told me that she had read in a flyer handed out by Jehovah's Witnesses, that God answers all prayers, except that God operates on a different time from the human time. (Makes sense?) I only nodded, and she then asked me what my astrological sign was.

Recently, I reported to a friend that Anglican Archbishop James Ussher had estimated in 1650 that the Earth was created October 23, 4004 BC (Julian), 9PM, and my friend asked: "In what time zone?"

Walking across the second floor pedestrian bridge between buildings yesterday afternoon, cold rain falling on both sides, I felt like a ghost myself, faltering, devoid of energy, life. I took the elevator down, stepped into the gym, and in the locker room met my old Chinese friend H., who immediately asked where I had been. I briefly mentioned personal problems, and he patted me on the back.

Today marks exactly two months since the shipwreck,

The newspaper reports that Roman Polanski, under house detention in his Swiss chalet, is editing there his latest film entitled Ghost. Tiger Woods in the meantime, is hiding on his yacht, named Privacy. The other day I told somebody that I wished I had had their problems.
