I like to say Meta is short for "Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis" another suggestion is "Metastasis."
...but these are things I say on FB. For all it's faults, still the most effective way to reach the most people.
How else would have I learned that my cousin's ordination included a blessing of the agnostics and a fellow pastor dressed in a T-Rex costume? Yes, there are many different kinds of Mennonites, and she is definitely one of those different kinds.

I've never seen a pastor dressed as Marc Bolan.

I used to get Marc Bolan and Tommy Bolin mixed up.
They died within a year of each other.

I met a neighbor of mine, back in Menlo Park, through circumstance. He was walking back from the nearby train station with Alan Cohen, who I knew as editor of The Oracle (famous 60s newspaper) and from working with him on a couple later projects. The neighbor was Hank Harrison, another 60s figure who very briefly manged The Grateful Dead and is the father of Courtney Love. Hank was then living on the corner in a very old house, but he had actually lived in the same apartment complex as we did, previously. I did a cover for one of his books the following year. But he got my name wrong at first, and said he'd tried to get in touch with me a couple times by standing in the apt's courtyard and yelling "Bob Bolan." I did find out in time he was an unreliable narrator among other character flaws.

miles, you have led a very interesting life. That apartment complex (and its denizens) must have been both a spectacular and annoying place to live. I am now thinking of my neighbors as "material." Perhaps that paradigm shift will help me understand their racket a little better.

I'm not thinking that you are dead or even close to it. I just mean so far.

But Miles is dead, Mare. There is a whole thread dedicated to that.
