I wish ZenGum would start participating here again.

Was he Higgs' lover as well?
He must be proud as all bejesus.

don't know, don't care.

I saw this thread recently returned to the top of the active group of threads, and noticed his name as author. That reminded me that I miss his input, that we're all poorer for his absence.

Soz, was only joking because when I read that Higgs was Englert's lover I believed it for a second.

I miss the Zen.
He was damned smart, but in an Aussie way. So laid back you'd think his (albeit excellent) photos and travelogues meant he 'd dropped out.
I think the same about our other Aussies. I've had the privilege of sharing some convos with them that reveal more than I think they say on the board, or certainly not easily found. They're not as chilled as they come across, and certainly more acccomplished.

Except Ali of course. Who just has babies.
(C'mon, I had to say it about someone and I know the most about how damned smart you are.)

If it's not one thing, it's your mother.

I was thinking that maybe he wanted to leave and invented his mom as a way to get that done.

Weird.

I don't know. I believed in the conflict with which he was dealing. Zen may have grown up struggling against a mother who always had to be the smartest one in the room. And, perhaps, she competed intellectually with Zen. He didn't want to have to deal with that here. Perhaps it just something he has never been able to grow out of. Makes it unpleasant either way.
