clarentine(Sorry; don't know the plural form of those verbs, as Latin is one language I never dabbled in. They should be plural. You'll just have to imagine them that way.)
If you were wondering where I'd gotten to lately, the answer is, I've been busy. A pack of friends and I got together this past long weekend, as we have every year for the past nine, and explored a new town - this time, it was my turn to host and Richmond that got painted. We did a corn maze, the Celtic festival and Highland Games, and a quick and dirty tour of some of the more interesting historical spots in the city. Plus ice cream, of course (if you know me, you know just how unlikely it would have been that we skipped ice cream, not when we have the World's Best Ice Cream right here in town), and lunch at Capital Ale House with the attendant sampling of many different kinds of beer, and a lot of games of Munchkin and Apples to Apples.
All of this to-ing and fro-ing was supported by much planning and copious amounts of energy for some rather late nights, and I am tired. And sad, too, because my friends have gone their various ways for another year. It's too quiet at my house.
Ah, well. There's next year to look forward to. ::howls with glee::

Progress continues on Break. I'm up to page 260, still plowing forward, and getting closer to the gap in the timeline with every word I write. No brilliance has yet shown me how to get over that chasm. I have a creaky footbridge; I'd rather a nice stone structure, but I'll settle for footbridge if necessary. At this point, I just want over it.

Was there research since I last posted? There had to be, but I'm afraid I don't recall any of it at the moment. I haven't researched anything since we packed everyone off to the airport, at the very least. *g*
