You people are TRYING to drive me crazy
One distracted moment and I am turning slowly, slowly on the wordspit!
Columbus in OHIO where the Great Muse, Anu, lives.
Mumble, mumble are these people all crazy? it's the Ohio town mumble, mumble they're doing it on purpose! mumble mumble (drooling emoticon}
With thumb in mouth i am going to go curl up under the quilt.

I had a feeling you were talking about Columbus, Ohio, but I didn't want to interrupt the search for the bones of a great explorer. Anyway, I don't think Anu lives in our great capital city. His personal website says that he lives on the shores of Lake Erie, so I would guess that he lives in the Cleveland area.

"It is a lovely Saturday afternoon in Columbus, Ohio, but the word master is neither golfing nor fishing, nor taking his ease. Seated at one of those desks that you put together from a kit, peering intently into the screen of his PC, Anu Garg scrolls through a backlog of e-mail while I look over his shoulder."
That's the opening graph in the Smithsonian Magazine article (December 2000, page 67) by Rudolph Chelminski.
I thought that located him at AWADwork. Silly me.

Well, there's a bit of a discrepancy there, because Columbus is about 100 miles from Lake Erie, and that's without a freeway going directly north. So either Anu moved, he's lying, or he's got quite a commute to work every day.

I'm not saying that I don't believe what the Smithsonian Magazine said, I'm just confused about how Anu can live 100 miles away from where he works without having a personal jet. And seeing as AWAD appears to be non-profit, I doubt he has a personal jet.

Dear Children ~
It is all so simple. These conflicting bits of data on which you hang are further evidence that THERE IS NO ANU! Live with it. He is a fiction. Anu is a psychological projection of your need for order and decency in a universe where there is too little of either. Anu is a dream, a wish, a child's imagining.
And pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

I perused the the article further and found the author talks about travel to Ohio where Anu has an "ordinary PC in the spare bedroom of a two-bedroom apartment in a rambling complex overlooking an artificial lake." The author says says that "after lunch Garg took me on a tour of Columbus and .... the well equipped public library ..... (and) the new science museum on the banks of the Scioto River." That doesn't sound like Anu lives too far out of town. Do these landmarks give you a way to locate him better? Father Steve : Oh, ye of little faith!  wow

P.S. I forgot (excuse please) where did you get info that The Great Anu lives 100 miles out of Columbus? Did I miss a thread about that ... ???
