hey derek,

no-one new. just thinking about various past rejections and about ways to be optimistic... and also about how much contempt i have for optimism in general...

not at all? but cynicism so much more comforting.... i was going to read this book called Learned Optimism, but i figured it wouldn't work, so why bother? ha, ha....
