In my elementary school the bright kids were put to work tutoring the
dull ones.  I spent some time with the special ed kids.  One of them
thought he was Elvis.  He'd croon into a broken radio he carried around.

He was so into the role that the other special ed kids egged him on, and
he'd perform, no matter where they were.  The normal kids occasionally
deigned to ask him to sing for them.  He always did, in his semicoherent
droning voice.  He was the first Elvis impersonator any of us had seen,
and wasn't any good at it.  But he believed.

I should point out to our friend at Tegra, as well as all and sundry, that
at the Bob party, I will have a VAX machine, just like the one at Oxford
University, available to all people who care to venture into the garage.
I will probably not have the net connection up in time, but I expect to have

Dirty Frank's is the Philadelphia equivalent of Rick's Cafe Americain.

He listens.  The sound is rhythmic, white.  It enters his being, and tunes it.
He sits for a while, absorbed in the flow.  Briefly, the sound changes,
something else enters in.  He is disturbed by the change, but it is short, and
the disturbance subsides into the hum.  It happens again, a bit longer this
time.  He does not like this, and drives the sound from his self,
concentrating only on the smooth rhythm underneath.  The intrusion persists,
attempting to overpower the background.  He envelops himself in the whiteness. 
The intrusion subsides slowly, defeated.  He relaxes, aimless, into the noise.
