   	You are free of course to call me thus "entertained".  This is a   
   semantical discussion, after all.  It isn't necessarily the word I'd   
   use, but I can accept your use of the word--as long as you use it in   
   complete context, so I can translate it to the concept of my perception,   
   ie: that I am enjoying my very particular flavor of enhanced   
   understanding of our relationship to the universe.   
   	Likewise, I can accept that someone may feel that Kenny G is art.  It's   
   not the word I would use, but language has always been pretty plastic.   
   That's one reason why I don't always understand my wife.
