Percy-L: Literary, Religious, Scientific, and Philosophical Discussion of Walker Percy

["Karey Perkins" <karey1 AT charter.net>]

If you have teenagers, it behooves you to learn the lingo…  : ) 

 

Or join Facebook.  I’ve joined – as have many of my friends – all old people like me!  It’s quite a phenomenon - sad to say, I actually love it! 

 

Now what would Percy say about THAT??? 

 

But, besides keeping up with “friends,” it’s a great way to stalk your college aged kid… : )

David, as another person at sea over contemporary American acronyms (ROFLMAO? Po-Mo moment?), I wonder if you could ship a crate of Geritol this way? (There's no such beverage in Dutch pharmacies -- you see how far behind the Dutch are when it comes to health care.)

(in Alkmaar, Holland, where not too many people read Walker Percy) 

PS There are web resources to help the computer-speak illiterate. Take a look at Wiktionary.

Thanks, Ken. I'll go drink my Geritol and go to bed.
