AsIs (aka, Azziz): If you remember back to when we first met in RL (the Boston Gathering!), I said that I thought that your handle was pronounced, "a-zeez"; exotic, Middle Eastern in origin. Several weeks ago, I heard that there is a publication primarily aimed at Arabic women titled "Azziza," meaning strong, self-reliant. Although I may have been wrong on the pronunciation, the concept fits!

Rantarn,

The green belt for learning to tie it? Right(read with sarcasm). Very funny. I wish. I think I have to actually get good at or at least consistent with my side kick before that happens. And get much better at working in a back stance. And learn at least two more forms well. And who knows what else? It is going to be a while. But it is the process I love, not the belt, so that is fine.

We couldn't have class this week which was a bummer, but I seem to be sick again (yuch) so it may have been just as well. No big deal, but I have a slight feeling of malaise and a fever of almost one hundred. I'd blame it on the weather, but I was at the radio station in the air conditioning all day.

Speaking of the radio station, please AVOID a book called "In Love with Shakespeare: a Literary Memoir." The author is a real crank. If I had been the one to evaluate the book we never would have done it. Catch this. He moans and groans about people not staying true to the text over and over again. Then he declares that Hamlet must be about 18 years old despite the fact that the text itself positively declares that Hamlet is 30. He just brushes it off with a who cares about just a few lines. He wants Hamlet to be young, so he is. But anyone ELSE who messes with the words is horrible. I had to read it, but no one else should have to suffer through this dreck. And NO ONE should pay for it.

Next one is called "Justice: Crimes, Trials, and Punishments" by Dominick Dunne. Hoping it will be good vacation reading. I'm headed out to the coast to vist with my family for a week and celebrate mom's 60th birthday.

I put Pollymath Prospero in the Hobit name generator: Beryl Sackville-Bracegirdle with no apparent home. Do you think Frodo will let me move in if I assure him that we Sackville-Bracegirdles have never approved of the Sackville-Baggins branch of the family?

Hey, dementoids and dementites!

I'm back from Shore Leave and happy to be sleeping in my own bed again. (Happy to be sleeping again smile

)

I took a few photos while I was there. I've downloaded them from the camera but don't have a page up yet. Give me a day or two to get that done.

More reports later...
