@SebastianSeung

Sydney Brenner established C. elegans as a model organism starting in the 1960s, which led to the first connectome in 1986. In Sept 2007, we invited Sydney to deliver the inaugural lecture for our new @Harvard @MIT  class on connectomics, and shockingly he accepted!

Dear Robin (Phillips), Bay Area Reedies +, Gabrielle, Byron & Cindy, Jim, Ed & Valerie, Gantt, Jo Anne, Konrad (PLEASE FORWARD TO other Reedies in group whose emails I couldn't find), and greetings friends. 


Great to hear from you as well, Robin (since last time we met, I think, you were in little HOUSE in LaGrande in Eastern Oregon - some 10 years ago (where my cousin, Annie Brown Brown of nearby Wisdom Creek Ranch, near Medical Springs, and Union, Oregon, above, too grew up in part - interestingly and curiously). Are you still both a lawyer, and working for the US federal government in one form or another - and regarding truckers too?  Thanks so much for your email, and your potential interest in the "Re: Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 or early 2025?" - 

"Hi Scott it is great to hear from you. I am still in Alexandria VA. I am still providing technical assistance and training for tribes and communities under 50k. I will be in Fresno in December for a Farmworker transportation meeting. If I am able I will see about getting  there early. Hope all is well with you." 

I searched on - 

robin phillips reed college law rphillips@nationalrtap.org US federal agency or association for truckers in part - National RTAP - Rural Transit Assistance Program?

and found -

And are you possibly RSVP-ing for a possible Sat 12/14/24 Reedie + book group ... in Canyon 94516 even - 
regarding the June 10, 2024 email in this thread "Meet in Canyon 94516 for the first book possibly on Saturday, possibly on 12/14/24, or 1/11/15 ?" 

It would be so so great to have a first Reedie + book group on 12/14/24, - but only yesterday, at my mother's suggestion, I inquired with the 'Town of Moraga" (where Byron and Cindy above live too, about 4 miles from Canyon 94516) about a list of licensed realtors for the area - https://www.moraga.ca.us/142/Contact (and see PS) - and haven't heard back yet, and I have no idea of how US federal law and states' laws working together in new ways effectively might open the way for me and MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch to move into a newly safe 670A Ridgecrest Road, WUaS POB 442, Canyon 94516 on December 1, 2024. Please stay tuned!

And who would like to suggest the first book for a possible Proposed Reedie + book group ? (Ishiguro's "Klara and the Sun" - or Bober's "Thomas Jefferson: Draftsman of a Nation" or George Eliot's "Middlemarch" - MIDDLEMARCH: George Eliot - FULL AudioBook: Part 1/4 https://youtu.be/Pte2HtOxbWM - and see PPS ?)

I've never read Middlemarch, and Gemini AI - https://g.co/gemini/share/079d810ff179 - makes it further appealing - and I appreciate too that it's the (a) 'greatest' novel. Might I propose Middlemarch for Sat 12/14/24 (if I'm out west in Canyon 94516 from an asylum place of western PA) - and at 607A Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 ... and with a potluck beforehand ?

Folks could start arriving at 4pm if so desired, potluck beginning at 5???, book group at 7 ??? (Departing Canyon 94516 in the dark in East Bay MUD can be funky ... so get your bearings as you drive in too, and GMaps should work as well ... eg I've had a wi-fi signal with T-Mobile up on the ridge there, but not down in the valley by the Canyon 94516 Post Office :)

Reedies +, Robin (Phillips), Bay Area Reedies +, Gabrielle, Byron & Cindy, Jim, Ed & Valerie, Gantt, Jo Anne, Konrad (Alt), Steve (Carlson), Janet (Gunzner), (PLEASE FORWARD TO other Reedies in group whose emails I couldn't find), and greetings friends, 

Thanks so much for your email RSVP Robin to a "Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 ..." at 670A Ridgecrest Road, PO box 442, Canyon CA 94516 on Sat December 14, 2024, beginning around 7, potluck beginning from 5pm (with at least some food on a table), and with some folks arriving at 4 pm (who might be wanting to explore beautiful Canyon 94516 up on the ridge above Indian Valley in East Bay MUD) ... Steve and Janet ... would you like to come too? (Bring your book reading families and tribes as well :).

But all of this is contingent on my being able to move into a newly safe Canyon 94516 from being in asylum in Penn's Woods, western Pennsylvania (since fleeing for my life, I think, from the SF Bay Area in August of 2022, and as a whistle-blower and having called the local police both from Canyon, and from both asylum houses in Pgh PA), so stay tuned. 

What to read possibly? I actually haven't read Middlemarch, and I think my mother's suggestion from one of her 2 book groups I think, in the Pgh area, of having read a book before suggesting it for any given month's book group makes a lot of sense (eg I wasn't drawn in or inspired to read Middlemarch further after reading its first few pages; if someone might recommend Middlemarch in this proposed book group in the future because they've read it - and eg because some consider it a greatest novel - great ... please suggest it!!! ... as we figure out "Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 ..." process further ... and per this email thread as well).

So what possibly to read for 12/14/24 - and as a starter "read"?

Robin, since you've so WONDERFULLY RSVP-ed and all the way from Washington DC / Alexandria Virginia ... for a "Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 ..." at 670A Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516 ... what book, that you've read, would you suggest for a very first proposed Reedie+ book group ? Something super inspiring book-wise from the field of history (which you studied at Reed, or Law, which you studied at Willamette University in Salem Oregon ... and does it have a legal competence in {Oregon} hippy law even?:) Or a book - hippy-wise - that you would suggest or found inspiring even (since Canyon 94516 in the woods of East Bay MUD, about 8 miles southeast of Berzerkeley, has some hippy roots as well) .. 


{In some of these regards, I searched on (for a starting BREIF read) - 

best short stories under 10 pages



Oscar Wilde short stories came up too - taking the piss out of Victorian society ... I think ... 


But how about The Desiderata - which I'm hereby calling a book - 
The Desiderata - 

... since the Desiderata short, and offers fascinating words to live by (philosophy-wise somehow, and see too - 
https://x.com/Q_YogaMacFlower/status/1815700381474689273 - with the Desiderata as a Yoga idea, I posit ... and more, and with my having taught Yoga in Canyon 94516 in the past) ... }

A book suggestion, Robin? - and since you so wonderfully RSVP-ed to this "Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 ..." ... and I don't even know if I'll be living there yet (still in limbo as I am) ... 

Thank you for your RSVP, Robin! (Robin and I were housemates in my first Reed (communal) House, the Clinton Street House, from January-May 1980 - n'est-ce pas?)

Reed reading regards all, 
Scott
