Roger, it sometimes blows my mind that you can even DO those things! I have to say, I read other people's shots at poems and stories, and I enjoy them, but when I see one with your name on it, I grin with anticipation and just relax into it, because I know I CAN relax. (At least until I snort coffee into my sinuses!) Yes, you definitely have at least one fan who really, really appreciates the labor involved as well as the humor. My husband isn't much of a WoT fan, but he's read enough to know what Myrddraal are, so I handed it to him as well. I think he was a little bemused by someone actually working that hard on a "Bel Tine carol," but he laughed all the way through. :)

Fork! Wetlander gave us the heads up about your Fraasti the Myrddraal post. I'm glad she did--it's awesome! Had to send a shout and let you know how much I enjoyed it. (I'm still in KoD for the reread, but catching up.) Any chance you'll be at JordanCon this year? :D

Grr - This new format doesn't tell you when you have a shout. Nice to hear from you. Your comments are some of my favourites - glad you are still around:) I think a lot of us have been taking breaks here and there lately. I was mostly in lurk mode for KoD - even though I thoroughly enjoy that one. Tess

I would be happy to oblige you. I have been working on a couple. As soon as I am done with them, shouldn't be too long

Thanks Forkroot! I can see why you call it a splurge!! This better be the best coffee in the world....and it probably is. I may get my husband a pound for his birthday.....when hooked, we can get our splurge regularly too. Thanks again.

Thanks for the info on the signing forkroot! It starts at 3:00, so hubby and I are planning to get there between 2:00 & 2:30. Bringing the camera, so hopefully I'll have a picture to post too!

You are welcome sir. They were brilliant! I meant every word. Good comic relief!

I'm thinking about it....

Forkroot - thanks for your compliment (a month ago) on my comparison of Moiraine and Cadsuane. I don't check the shouts very often - I really don't see this page as very functional, or rather haven't taken time to figure out the functionality - but anyway, I just saw your coment. So, thanks!

Yeah, I have a 32-mile Northbound commute in the mornings. And no question at all! Had you hunted me down, and then I found out how you came to be in San Diego, I'd have thought you were nuts. You chose wisely! Another time, indeed.

Freelancer said (1 year ago):
Gah! Not that long a wave, my friend. I can see the bridge and hotel if I stand on my rooftop. I'm certain you had much better things to do than try and catch a moment with me, but still. And yeah, you can't beat the Del. Glad you were well treated, that's a major accomplishment.

Jealous! Both for the islands and meeting up with another of us. Enjoy yourself, and don't forget to have macadamia nut & pineapple pancakes at least once. ;-{)>

Tektonica said (1 year ago):
Hope you had fun in catching up with BillinHI. I hope a bunch of us make it to Jordancon next year. It would be so fun for our little group to meet up face to face. Have a great trip to the beach!

I was just scanning through CoS #18 (cage match) for odd reasons, and came across your "Fork & Free vs. Wet & Leigh" match. ROFL all over again! That was just too funny. "The match was moved to a local coffeehouse... No one was declared the winner because the crowd went home while they were still solving the problems of the world..." Oh, my aching sides. :) I so much appreciate your sense of humor, among many other things. Thanks again!

Wetlandernw said (1 year ago):
I most definitely notice meter, rhythm and rhyme!! I find it difficult to read attempts where the words are sort of forced in and it limps; I always read poetry "in meter" - at least when there's any meter to read. And I know how difficult it can be to make the words and the meter fit; I KNOW you put a lot of work into that! I'm sorry I took so long to respond. Let's pretend I didn't want it to get lost in all the immediate applause... ;) Seriously, right at first I just enjoyed it far too much to risk making inane compliments. And of course I get hooked into an argument far too easily, so I'd start flinging debates around and exhaust myself... Anyway, your hard work is much enjoyed!!

Samadai said (1 year ago):
Roger, they finally went and opened that Voodoo doughnuts store. Now what will I do.

Lannis said (1 year ago):
Dude, I just went back and read the last of PoD #7 and saw your comment. Thank you! And I completely agree, it's the community of this forum that keeps me returning, and I really have NO desire to do the same on other forums. Our group here is insightful and respectful (for the most part) and just damn fun! Thanks for the mention, because you'd be on my list, too! Cheers! :)
