Nice and thanks for the kind words.
CK. 3 May 2013.
Charlie Kaufman is an LA screenwriter. He wrote ‘Being John Malkovich.’ I’d posted this quote before and had to go digging to find it. It’s been on my mind for the last couple days. Seems important; as we move into re-write ‘C’ of a script.
Morandi. 3 May 2013.

Yard re-purposing. 26 Apr 2013.
LOL, sort of…
Epigenetics. 25 Apr 2013.
Epigenetics is basically just another mechanism to generate (and sometimes inherit) variation. Repurposing is about changing function (to my way of thinking). So any mechanism to generate variation can augment a change in function, but I would not put epigenetics in a special place for evolution of new function without some specific rationale. Jim
