Snow relocation continues.  Thank ghod the plow-guy takes care of the driveway, and all I have to worry about is the deck, the steps and maintaining a path through the hills of snow from the bottom step.

In between the above activity and some convoluted errands in town, only a little work on George.

Going to go watch The Music Man, now.

Progress on The Book Presently Known as George:
18,474 words/100,000 OR 18.47% complete

It would seem from this that he had been a man alone — which was not, as Kezzi knew — a strange thing, in the World Above, though it seemed strange, indeed, to the Bedel, who were like the petals on a single flower.

I think we are going to have to learn a whole new language.

I think we are going to have to learn a whole new language.

Only a few words. They look more intimidating in the snippets, because they don't have the context of the rest of the paragraph to support them.

We were at a con -- once or twice, now -- when the organizers wanted to put us panels about how to create a language. "We hear you've invented a whole Liaden language."

"No, no. Only some words -- less than two hundred. Possibly less than a hundred -- and no grammar at all. We really haven't invented a language."

"Really?"

"Really. We'd love to be able to invent a language -- it sounds utterly cool. But neither one of us is a linguist."
