Going down to the car yesterday, the young man who lives next door noticed my Tree and Dragon shirt. Conversation ensued. He and his S.O. now have temporary possession of two of my more precious books. One of these days I might even greet a fellow traveler with a bow and not be summarily relegated to the "strange and possibly dangerous" file.
I am very glad that you have brought such a rich universe to environs of this third rock. I am made more glad by the knowledge you are still writing.
Please accept my heartfelt congratulations!
