Hi David,

Having watched the three lectures, my enthusiasm is renewed and I cannot 
wait until 'Master and His Emissary'  arrives.  It is a shame that the the 
audio is so poor at the end of the second, more technical, lecture.  I could 
hear most of the interesting questions asked, but not McGilchrist's answers. 
You made a nice selection, a short lecture with wonderful visuals, a long 
technical lecture and a lecture directed at the literary crowd.  His use of 
the word 'flow' alone might point to my enthusiasm.

Thanks for redirecting my attention to McGilchrist's insightful ideas again. 
I do think that MoQ'ers will get it.  Except, perhaps, the one with his head 
up his own ass.



Marsha
