He is being stubborn, has talked himself into believing that he is going to die from some prophecy from that Adler woman and can someone please go get one of those basters that you use on the turkey and fill it with sense and put it in his ear? I think all of his practical sense fell out. Perhaps it was while he was in space.
I attached the scan that he let me look at. I may possibly not have mentioned to him that I emailed it to myself while he was getting coffee.

Yeah, he got the scan from me - I was flipping through the diaries the other night trying to see if there was any corresponding entry to the earthquake in Japan, just out of boredom. He found that particular quatrain and seemed to be somewhat fixated on it. If that's what sent him into his bender last night which turned him even greyer than usual this morning, someone ought to remind him that precognitive interpretations are usually about as literal as Cubism. No offense, Angie.

I tried. He was being very stubborn.
There is no offense taken. Although I rather think it's closer to a Jackson Pollock painting sometimes. There are days I feel that interpreting things is best done by throwing everything at it and seeing what sticks.

Keep in mind he had a pretty close brush with his own mortality back at the end of October, so there might be a bit of transference going on here. I'm not going to say you all should hurry up and get jaded about facing death on a regular basis, but I won't say the lack of jadedness doesn't play a part in situations like this.

Speak for yourself, old man. I for one am convinced that I am never going to die. Twenty-one years of empirical evidence are on my side so far.

I think I've managed to calm him down from outright flailing to moping. Angie, I was thinking of getting Tante's input on this, if she's available - I figure throwing as many precogs at this as we can find might help convince him that one prophecy from one person in a book of hundreds isn't a certainty.
It might be a good idea not to let me anywhere near the original, since the urge to use it to track this bitch down and give her a seeing to is probably a bit stronger than healthy.
