Scan of a random page from the several, several thousand pages written by my brother, Otto George Lauf, almost daily over the past 42 years. Both sides of this page were written on or soon after "Monday, September 14, 2009."

Schlittenfahrt: "Hallo."
Koolhaas: "Wolfhilde, it's me, Rem."
Schlittenfahrt: "Are you calling for some metro-sex again?"
Koolhaas: "No, no. I'm calling if Josh and I can come over?"
Schlittenfahrt: "You mean like a metro-ménage or something?"
Koolhaas: "No, no. Josh and I just split up and we now need your advise as to what we should do next."
Schlittenfahrt: "Oh, that's a shame, you and Josh made such a nice couple. Let me guess, it turned out you both snore, right? Anyway, come on over. I'm just in the mood to give you guys my new Baroque Pregnancy test. The test results will let each of you know what to do next."
Koolhaas: "Thanks Wolfhilde. We'll be right over. Oh, before I forget, did Rita Novel change her cell number or something? I tried calling her several times and nothing happens."
Schlittenfahrt: "Oh, she's just taking a vacation on Uranus. Apparently everybody's doing that these days."

Rem=Renaissance Greg Lynn=Baroque
Try my patented Baroque Pregnancy test. If you fulfill all of the following requirements, then you are "bestimmt Barock".
1. does your work manifest a bifurcation of the real and the illusory?
2. does your work introduce mirroring as a henceforth dominant theme?
3. does your work invert reality into a reenactment of its own illusory mirror?
If you cannot answer yes to any of the above questions, then you are unfortunately not Baroque, however, you can now try my new patented fertility pills.

REPORTAGE- Rhythm & Gender
Ever since Otto's death 11 October 1916, he kept close watch of what Einstein was doing—once a Münchener always a Münchener and all that. Otto and Einstein first met 18 April 1955, and are close friends since then. Einstein doesn't hang around Earth much these days though; he's mostly far off somewhere in the continuum. The last time Otto and Einstein were together was on 5 March 2000 at Princeton. They captured lots of images (of architecture) on the University campus that Sunday. Otto recently decided to publish the images—Art that is Otto and Einstein at Princeton 5 March 2000.

Re: larry rivers
After hearing Terry Gross interview Larry Rivers back in 1992, I read What Did I Do? The Unauthorized Autobiography. I remember liking the book, but these days I don't remember much else except that Rivers related how some woman at some beach house they were both staying at showed him how to use an eggshell to get the tiny bits of eggshell that sometimes get into the eggwhites. Ever since then every time I make eggs for breakfast I automatically think of Larry Rivers.
Rivers was most recently in Philadelphia painting The Greatest Homosexual Couple, a painting of Napoleon and Jim Williams.
