Forgot to Mention.....

Along with the work with his new additions, Jay also sent me a computer printout of everything that happened in the year 1966. Rows and rows of pertinent historical happenings, also, a little of the mundane. It is interesting to reflect on how Jay and myself have taken this little bit of "pointlessness" (the original letter) and manipulated it in such a way that it becomes important again. The original recipient in July of 1966 probably did not care for these piece of correspondence as much as Jay and I have, which also brings about another interesting question; how does this appropriation and manipulation reestablish a value, or even, how did it make it more important than it was ever meant to be.....
