Hah, loved it Terry. Nix out on the fade. What a great saying. I'm going to try and force that into my life. I'll say it to Jo and see if she eyes me quizzically.

Anyway, excellently done, sir.

Fred would be a cool cat neighbor, rappin over the fence, and all that. Loved this post, Terry.

Blimey, mate, I reckon that blagger's a proper dodgy geezer, even more than that Ferry Tredman wot asks all them questions. Ain't none of 'em gonna lay off the wacky baccy? The hippies are running the show now, watch yer backs, all that rabbiting on is a bit iffy.

Terry, your inventiveness and imagination is a thing of great and depthless beauty. I'm envious and in awe!

And as Lord Buckley so aptly put it: “If you can get to it, but you cannot do it — well, there you jolly well are, aren’t you?”

Hilarious! I LIKE Fred. He sounds like he'd fit right in here in Santa Cruz, you know, in 1969. His writing advice was spot on, if a little facile, and I love the hair . I have shopped the photo a little to make it a little clearer. I will send it to you. Darned cute if you ask me.

Oh, thanks! Yes, it is a bit dark. Mind you it is rather old, circa 1970 as you surmised! 😂

You're never ALONE with a split personality. AND I have a theory about that which MIGHT NOT be my own. Dissosociative Identity Disorder isn't as pronounced, everybody has it to some degree ( capsule version ). All that after 3 abnormal psyche classes. Freud was a fun guy.

Thanks, Daniel. I agree with everything you say, and Fred says, "Right on, man". As it happens I visited Freud's house in London recently (mentioned here: https://terryfreedman.substack.com/p/letter-to-rebecca-24-11)!

Have you seen " The Seven Percent Solution " ? Sigmund meets Sherlock, Sherlock basically tries detoxifying from opium ( It's been a couple of decades, + / - ) ironic since Freud was addicted as well.

Freud's house, IMPRESSIVE.

No, I haven't. That sounds worth watching. I will see if it's available anywhere. Thanks!

Yes, I think I forgot to write about the house. It was quite interesting. Apparently Freud had books in several languages and could understand them all, apart from one, which he treasured because it had been given to him as a gift. He ended up with mouth cancer, poor bloke.

I actually forget WHEN I saw it. This is where our old pal STREAMING gets used to search !

Oh, Buddha, I wish that I knew Spanish, French, Cantonese. I was in college, somehow fell in among a group of French people, spoke a French phrase, BAM ! They assumed that I was literate en francais. Oy !
