What?!?
... when did you ask me to buy you a copy, or two, or three?
Anyway, here's the data, in Scribe format:

@Book(Lakoff,
Key = "Lakoff",
Author = "Lakoff, George and Johnson, Mark",
Title = "Metaphors We Live By",
Publisher = "The University of Chicago Press",
Address = "Chicago", Year = 1980)
@Comment< Interesting view - expands his Cognitive Science paper
Claim: we are constantly using metaphor, in just our day to day
speech.  Example: We view time as a precious commodity - ala money.
Hence we talk of taking time, using time, giving time, ...
(Book is full of examples.)  Lakoff goes on to claim there is a
method to these metaphors -- some sense of consistency and meaning.
Note: offensively small bibliography: no mention of Kuhn, or Quine, (etc)
whose ideas seem, nevertheless, to be included.>

I've had no problem finding copies of it -- check the Stanford Bookstore.

As to RLL/MRS/... :
Steve Klein has the only currently active version of RLL these days.  
Are you foolhardy enough to think you might want to use it?
MRS is probably preferable, all told.  According to MRG, there will
soon be a hacker working full time updating, consistency-izing,
etc,  it.

other news:
Did I mention that ther will be an "AEsthetics of Music" class --
Tuesday at 3:15-5:05 at Ventura Hall, taught by some Philosophers.
Tell Janet, and Andy Schloss, if you see them.

Elizabeth says Hi.  NY was a bit brisk, but had a lot less rain that
"sunny" California.  Boston was fun also.  I brought back a host
of reports, and a few potentially useful memories.
What did you do this "break"?
