THE COMING WAVE
(AN INTERVIEW WITH MOTHER ABIGAIL – THE CONCLUSION)
It is a beautiful fall evening with still a taste of summer in the air. I am back at the Hotel after a wonderful day with MA.
I have a date on Saturday with Baby Cakes and life, at this moment, seems a bit too good to be true.
Nevada - how I hurried to abandon this place in the winter and how truly magical it seems this afternoon. There is nothing like small town America.
After interviewing MA for several hours and missing lunch I am in the mood for Tanqueray and steak. You can say what you will about casinos, but they dish out perfect steaks and cocktails like it was chips and salsa. And God bless them for that.
So I will simply post the introduction to this final piece (which of course is not written yet) and this little bit of a preamble – and mosey on down to my favorite watering hole.
When I return we will start this bit of denouement with the hope of proving all my ex-wives and the many e-mailers wrong – I can finish something.

There are a couple of housekeeping issues that need to be noted first.
1. CurEvents.com where I first posted the “Birth of the Flu Blog” article has gone belly up. This is very common on these niche sites - especially science sites.
Which raises the question about the rapidly disappearing history of the Internet. If I had not written about Mother Abigail and the transformation of new media - would all that history now be lost. Many of the Web Sites that were involved in the early process of development are now lost forever.
Perhaps that is the way it will be, seminal people and seminal events will just fade away like used electrons without every being documented and credited. A disposable history if you will.
But that is a larger topic and gratefully we have a full record of all the work that MA did. As long as Free Republic remains on line that is...
2. Again all the words that appear on this thread are mine and mine alone. Mother Abigail has refused to edit or comment on any of my work thus far.
I have struggled to be as accurate as possible in my reporting of her views and thoughts. It is my hope that I have achieved that goal.
