Benny Franklin, Abby Lincoln, and Al Ein is that
just like you and me - they are not geniuses or
presidents, or world figures - 24/7.
Meaning they are allowed to be as trivial and
irrelevant, and silly as you and me. That includes
having a sense of humor. These guys have become
cardboard characters by use, school teachers,
and authors who make a living selling stuff on
Amazon and Barnes and Ignoble.
Nobody ever reads these comments anyway, so I
call this Stream-of-Consciousness - self-talk.
Al E was my Mom's cousin - back in Austria -
The whole family was suspicious of the Professor
and his book learning - they were mostly small
business owners, and my Mom lived on a small
farm -ignorant as dirt.
Who knew the weird kid would be a world figure,
and move to American - the promised land for
European despised Hebrews.
So, goodbye, Al really knew there was more than
two-ways to think about miracles, and #3 was
to exercise a little humor about it.
P.S. My Mom introduced me to him at a family
wedding in NYC. He patted me on the kopf, and
I was a nice kid, guess he really didn't know
that much. Damn, we never discussed E=mc2.
See ya,
