Was starting to worry that the Pythons would be a complete miss :D

It's a good word. We need more grokking in this world. I feel ya :) On a somewhat related note, there's a band out of Oregon that I'm rather fond of, Blitzen Trapper, they have a tune of the same name.

I caught it right away , made me smile, and 'grok' leapt out at me as I use it in everyday speach and people get the meaning without knowing the word or where it came from

Ha, you're only the second person aside from the friends that I introduced to the book that actually use it. The only other was an old hippie mystic lady in New Mexico, and she had no clue where it came from.

oh and will defo check out the band. The Sub Pop label churned out some great stuff in the late 80's early 90's
