" Douglas Hofstadter’s “Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid,” that could betray his interest in codes, coming out of his house in Frederick, Md., at 1 a.m. in long underwear to make certain the garbage truck had taken his trash..."

I don't have GEB, but I do have correspondence from someone who decoded Godel's notes in one of his books. They were in Gabelsberger, an obsolete German Shorthand. I need to learn Gabelsberger to decipher Grandfather's 1889 diary. Hope I don't have to dig out my long underwear.
