Well there's another Zen fan, not sure if "fan" is the right word, but it's the only one I can think of right now.

I'm a Who fan and Zen fan.

I often contemplate what Tommy can see for miles.






(seriously though, I'm both a Who and Zen fan)

I was referring to the Sci-fi series 'Doctor Who', but I also like some of the music that the Band 'Who' did.

The Who's doctor is Jimmy. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVk8Ze26_PA)



I like what I know of "Doctor Who," but I pretty much only know 2-3 years of Tom Baker episodes. When I was a teen (well, and maybe into my early 20s--I don't recall exactly what years this would have been), my local PBS station showed a few years of Tom Baker-era "Doctor Who" via syndication. I've always meant to check out more of the series, although the fact that there are over 800 episodes to this point makes me hesitant to start, since I tend to be an OCD completionist if I like something.

If only you'd take your own advice.

Surely this blockchain money spinner you say you are on is missing you?

I'll add occasionally, if I feel I do have something to add or say. Bear with me though, if a reply isn't readily forthcoming.

I doubt if the self-absorbed lot on here even notice (excluding myself).

That's alright. I'm used to it.

As long as someone notices means that you exist.

Hey! what's the matter with you, O thought you were taking a break. Now go away, and don't come back till we're ready.


FYI, I just got a book to read, "Zen Buddhism" the selected writings of D. T. Suzuki, I'll let you know when I'm done.

They shipped it in a Pizza box, I can't wait to see what the next book is shipped in.

Pizza box? An unused one I hope. Does the book smell of pepperoni? (Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm gone. Lol!)

Really just hopped aboard to leave a note for Rick, regarding his article, and ended up making comments all over the place. Addictive.... There is a book comparing Buddha with Christ, I am told. If I get the name, I'll let you know. Told it's quite good.

That's hilarious.
