Our lamented Mr. Purdy is being eulogized over on therumpus.net. He is quoted as follows: "Whatever is, is wrong." That made me think, "Wow!" What a bracing credo. It is sort of the opposite of Kafka saying, "Everything possible happens; only what happens is possible" and like so many opposites, it is sort of exactly the same. I'm too tired to sort it out right now. But I've given you kids a lot to think about!
