In summary

- New York was fun, but much like London. It was wonderful seeing Amy. I crave her company often.

- Tim has shaved his head and looks a little like a convict.

- I have a new job running the farmers' market in Clayton. It's working so far. I am quietly obtaining St Louis notoriety.

- Odin is having kittens.

- Peter, and his cat Missi, are staying for a short time until he can move in with Linda. Interesting cat times abound.

- We have a comic book! (more work to be done, but essentially there).

- Teabringer has had lab results! I could tell you what they were, but I'm not entirely confident I would do that well.

- No agent yet. No recent publications. Actually managed to do writing this week for the first time in three weeks.

- Jessica still need front forks.

- The British Ladies are coming on the first Saturday of next month for a garden party.

- Teaching is going well. I thought one had got away, but he came back.

- I'm seriously contemplating a whole month back in Britain come the middle of December.

- Game is going well. For the most part. Much fun was had last night.

- The Welsh choir has no more engagements until July. The coup continues to hold in church, therefore I am still on strike.

- Sorry I'm such a hopeless case. If I owe you a phone call or letter, I really will try to get hold of you soon.
