Christopher Alexander[base ']s
personal diaries, luckily discovered in a garage sale in Poughkeepsie just
months ago, show in his early years a painful yearning for the precision he
loved so dearly in the sciences [Alex 3].
[base "]Kathy turned
me down. I find it frustrating that women do not perceive and appreciate the
inherent elegance of simply sitting on park bench for a date rather than engaging
in the external complications of dinners and movies. But perhaps however
this is my fault. The same thing happened with Julie, Jeannie, and Sunita,
and it is possible that this is a recurring pattern. If only there were also
an identified context relationship and a solution for this problem.[per thou]

Later, his perceptions
improved, but without successful implementation. [Alex3]:
In short, I
believe that this Saturday night I will be playing Dungeons and Dragons again.
This is a recurring pattern in my life, ostensibly perpetuated by my pocket
protector which Martin insists puts women off, and by my utter refusal to
engage in interests outside of writing classic books on architecture. The
larger patterns embed them, and the patterns of the same size that surround
it, and the smaller patterns which are embedded in them, and so on like those
Russian stacking doll thingies, form a complex pattern mini-architecture.
I do hope that tonight I shall have better powers than last time, when
I was a wounded dwarf with the mystical powers of a doily.[per thou]
