This Project

Yesterday, December 11, 2006, a little over four months since Bob died, I visited Kathleen at the house on Manheim Street and recovered another three boxes of Bob’s writing dating back to the late Sixties I think. Thumbing through, there’s some duplication and (somewhat disorientingly), pieces from this past year wedged in with faded, old pieces typed on carbon paper (one sheet with my own scribblings, notes I made while on the phone with a real estate agent from Long Beach Island indicated which rental properties take dogs????).

Anyway, to those devotees of Bob, old or new, and anyone following this project, I want you to know it is vast — years worth of material — some of it brilliant, some of it silly, some of it obtuse, but all of it, Bob. Scanning doesn’t work, or at least the software I used was not much better than just typing everything myself.. But check every few days. I’ll try to put something in from a different area of Bob’s interest.
