Stro

[Drunk Monk]

Oh, and just wondering about the remark that Stro dropped acid daily for a year.  Can you really do that?

Some can.  I had heard that story direct from Stro himself.  I've heard it from other heads that have done stuff like that.  Didn't someone here drop every day for a month?  Wasn't me.  

The one question is the Jungian framing.  While it's a valid way to introduce Stro, I'm not certain it's the best way.

I think what's missing here is a strong connection between Jung and Stro.  Stro was deep into Jung.  We discussed it more than a few times.  Did I or PPFY or anyone from the SJSU team the Sword of Compassion story? That's an alchemical reference, Stro's paraphrasing, not a specific thing.  Jung used the two-edged sword as a device and Stro reinterpreted it to justify his balance between war and peace. The SJSU sword of compassion was the attack in prime, which might make an interesting juxtaposition to the parry in seconde story (which works really well between PPFY's, Dean's and my retelling).
