   So glad to see you again, Johnny Fusion. As Source said, tea at the Rancho is   
   always at 4:00. Nothing has   
   really changed. The tea is Earl Grey. The tea service I'm using currently is   
   white porcelain with oriental   
   poppies, and a brushed steel handle. The creamer is a little white elephant.   
   The silverware is a little   
   tarnished but sterling. Antique white linen napkins.   
      
   There are lemon cookies and brownies and if we're really hungry, we have   
   cheese and crackers...   
      
   And I'd like to ask you about Second Life over tea.   
      
   I've always been curious but I've never been there; never known anyone who   
   participates. What does it feel   
   like? Is it like being here at the Rancho, where the shared reality is   
   maintained in text? Or does it feel   
   more "real"?   
      
   All I know about Second Life is that I've seen articles about people who are   
   making a decent   
   living by designing fashions for SL - what? characters? avatars? Also   
   something about people being charged   
   for committing "crimes" in the virtual space. Interesting issues.   
      
   Now I have to get ready for a conference call. I'll be needing tea by the time   
   that's over with.   
      
   Best,   
      
   Poly
