Farley's jewel1998

Larry Farley is a philosopher on sabbatical attempting to fit Heidegger's notion of Dasein into a computer model. His baggage - kids, a dog, a wandering eye, a jealous wife, a mother with Alzheimer's, and a penchant for turning the issues of life and death over and over in his heart, polishing them like a jewel. His wife throws him out, he eyes every woman who passes, his mother floats through time, but Farley's attention is caught only by the question of being.
