The Spave Instructs the Owl's Mogur

Recently I have been in touch with my mentor from Washington, DC, my first real creative director, and the one who introduced me to the Golden Section. Also, the first to ever produce any of my music.

Ethunk will remember him, he came to SD once and we played music at Polyman's dome. (He played piano)

He sent me a Christmas greeting card entiled "Okra's Mystery" along with a superb drawing of same.

I would like to send the whole series over to the Spave for reproduction on the site because they are so damn cool.

Anyway, I couldn't figure out "Okra's Mystery" so he had to explain it to me.

Then I told him the thing about the NINES, which was all new to him and which he thought was way cool.

He especially liked Skogg's thing about subtracting non-nine-divisible digit sums to reconnect with nineness.

So cool, Spave, you are instructing the instructors!

Hey Owl...can you email the card to Spin so we all can view the mystery?

I know back when Wildeye was but a wee lad and mesmerized by the He Man saga, he thought Chop was Orka...that was a mystery to Chop (but not to me)...oh wait a minute, He Man's comic relief was Orko not Orka.


jaluq...my new favorite toast.

Okay, I can't let it go...my new word is 'mhmrhm'. I'm pretty sure that was one of He Man's adversaries (or at least it should have been.)

Yes, I'll email the art, but it may not help.

What will help is the beautiful way Jim Higgins explained it to me.

It becomes a no brianer.

I promise to share that also,
if no one figures it out first.

Hint to "Okra's Mysterey" :

Say it really fast, over and over in your mind and think of decorating something big and green for the holidays (...put a star on top, etc).

(This is not how Higgins coached me. His was much more specific and nice)

There is a whole series of them. I'll forward them to Spinny so she can put them up for Christmas.
