Since the Junior's status quo is currently "alive", I'll try not to read too much into that first statement. It'll be fun to see who you pull out of the Who's Who to fill out a new roster.

Hatty seems to have been consumed by the Olympics... hopefully he'll show up in time to voice his opinion. In any event, remember Brap is still available for the line up if you need the filler.


Some of the books are rather anticlimactic too, and most suffer from an expository chapter once the action is over. My take on them is that there's some fascinating stuff in there but Rowlins desperately needed an editor who was willing to challenge her, to cut stuff for pace, and to demand plot points were properly pursued and accounted for.

I'll likely tackle the books once they're released in a reasonably priced paperback format. Here I foolishly thought that would happen within a few years of each release...






Yes, well... that would probably be good too. This, however, is my "forest week" contribution. No, really. Still, I'm enjoying it, and I don't think you need to know any current continuity, so some of the long-lost posters who have wandered in recently may be able to enjoy it as well. (We'll see how much continuity creeps in before I'm done, however.)




I e-mailed you from a different account, to the address you provided to GE. I'm not that prompt at responding to the comcast address anyway... For others trying to reach me, I use vizh310 at gmail. That on is .com, by the way.
