Yes, I vaguely remember in that class, Mr. Wilson was talking about the value of serendipity. Sometimes odd things happen for whatever reason, coincidental circumstances, odd incidents of an unexpected sort, and that is fine. Yes, and my life has been riddled with various coincidental happenstances, so I am not sure what else there would be to say about that. Enough about that.

Which Reminds Me
Yes, it is interesting to note that Grandpa Calkins' mother was a Collins. And, who knows, maybe Collins being probably a larger tree than Calkins, maybe you could have a better chance there of finding some ancestral connection to Jemima Collins. Who can say for sure?

Yes, I do think that the concept of the promise of change has always been a motivating factor in social and political terms, especially good change, not so much bad change. It is not so much generic change as good change, progress. So why not explore this topic more fully when my degree will have the words "current affairs" attached to it? I forget now what exactly I said about that. But anyway, I never was intended in performing as a hobby toy for Mr. Billionaire's vanity project, so, ho hum, what about that?

Yes, mind you, I was not accusing Donna of anything. Only if I am paying my half of the rent, I do not like feeling like a prisoner living in a jail cell, with this prison guard Donna snapping at every little thing. And I only lived there one year anyway, o she was only a minor figure of very little importance in my life overall.

Yes, I suppose that if you wanted to be really very picky, you could argue that the word 'crusade' would be better suited than 'campaign' for denoting a religious service, and I would not disagree with that. I might even have been persuaded to use that word instead if anyone had suggested that, but I do not remember anyone saying anything about that, or at least relaying the message to me, because there was an editor who reviewed the entire book later, so who knows what else they did with that later.
And also I remember the demons berating us for singing "Onward Christian Soldiers," so I don't know, maybe I do not have a firm opinion on that either way.

Yes, so I did a translation job and there was nothing more that I needed to say about that. The author said what he wnated to say and I faithfully translated whatever that was. Enough said about that.

Yes, I vaguely remember myself having translated the Dante book into English langauge, and he does talk much promotionally about the value of campaigns, and holding campaigns, but he was not talking to you, obviously. At least I understood the words enough, in comparison to the English-only talking heads of Manhattan, for myself to have a gist of what he was trying to say, which basically had nothing to do with U.S. politics. How would an Argentine preacher who needs an English translator run for political office here? Or for that matter, some lowlife secretary in D.C. or was that B.C? Electoral politics was never my game, coiuld not care less about that. I do not want to be bothered to have to devise some crackpot answer to your ridiculous commentaries on this topic, unless maybe someday youi could learn to ask a real question about eternity and where is your soul going to be later?
