Re:

helping me find a new assistant woudl be greatly appreciated, I suggest taking the evening classes . sign up asap. not sure about day classes. .

I have great respect for you. I would hope by now we would have made some progresss. not sure. we have.= If there is something i can do. I would like you to tell me. . as a mettric minded gentleman scientist . I fear that our experiment is not proving successful.

I would be happy to help find you an assistant. Tell me the parameters of the job and I will look. As far as the experiment is concerned... I didn't know I was part of one. Am I an unsuspecting Galatea? Or a pawn in your dealings with Leon? Since there was never really a job on the table at Phaidon I can only clutch at straws... I uprooted from LA at your behest and was strung along on somewhat of a fool's errand and now that i have taken up the real and tangible opportunities that are being presented to me (the film, the column and the book) you say our experiment has failed? I am not suggesting you were aware of or bear any responsibility for just the kind of goose chase this Phaidon thing was but if our experiment was one of seriousness and focus I feel there has been 'serious' progress.

Perhaps you can clarify your expectations to me. Of course, I already feel a little bit like your ward, so I don't want to disappoint, but I also suspect I am your least obsequious and most rebellious ward and that may not be acceptable under the terms of our tacit deal.
