April fool (4/1/97)
____________
Yesterday I wrote a sonnet and opened a bank account. I found myself wondering, naturally, whether there were many people who had, on the day in question, written a sonnet and opened a bank account; and whether perhaps we all might start a Usenet news group and flame one another for posting off-topic. After that I went to see
Ransom at the rerun theater, and eliminated, reluctantly, the Ron Howard theory from serious consideration in the Ramsey murder: reluctantly, because the idea of John Ramsey running down Pearl Street exchanging gunfire with Gary Sinise is an appealing one, especially with football season still several months away. Then I ate a pizza and some ice cream. Glancing over the daily abstracts from xxx.lanl.gov, I discovered I thought I was reading something about “the quartic lovesick tensor”; and wondered, once again, whether women ought to be kept in the zoo.
