I've just had a very nice request from an unknown reader with a web-page tag that goes to a web page in arabic. Which was a thrill in itself. I know there are a few international readers of the Okal Rel Saga, but they are shadowy figures to me. Love to know them better. In any case, he/she (can't read arabic) asked me to update my blog more often.

"Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful and beneficial to your readers.
עוזרת."

The topic was Paul Strickland reporting the idea of sword law as means to limit warfare. Which was central to the whole vehicle of Okal Rel. I've missed talking and thinking about theme in the scramble to get more visual these days. I've missed the blog, as well. Blogs seem so old fashion since instant messaging and facebook. But I resolve to blog more, and to give myself permission to talk about the deep stuff as well as share pictures and fun bits. The Okal Rel Saga always has been dramatized philosophy for me, and a way to ask and address - if not ever fully answer - hard questions. Like how do we avoid blowing up everything once we have the power to do it?

Amel is grateful for Catherine's sympathy. Lynda was most pleased to sign her copy of Courtesan Prince. Ranar wouldn't know what to do about another frequent visitor to the Lott household, named Holly, who is "into" him. So I haven't told him. I don't think he'd mind particularly but he might want to study the phenomenon. Tegan is doing a portrait of a Silver Demish princess for an art project, with organic elements like wood in the background and wearing a string of pearls. Angela is advising characters in Righteous Anger about how to conduct their lives better whenever I get a chance to read her the next installment. Mel has done some new chibbie cartoons which are posted by the computer upstairs in the Lott house. Jennifer Lott is home for a visit and has promised to read the gang a new chapter of her second novel in the Drescopata series. She brought Angela the game, Catan, for her birthday and we all played it last night. Tegan and Jennifer teamed up to wipe out myself, David and Angela.
