Well, this is Kay in 98 HV and here in Seattle. Good evening to everyone. I played hooky from church. I am sorry. I know that today is St. Francis Day, but I am not wild about the blessing of the animals. I'm just not. I'm allergic to cats and dogs both. And if there are too many of them around in an enclosed space it can be interesting. So I stayed home from church and instead engaged in sort of a writing odyssey. So somewhere in my research for this current poem I ran across the interesting idea that you can't actually hypnotize somebody to do something that is completely against their will. And in fact it is much easier to impose a condition on somebody if it is an exaggeration of something they already do. So I have been playing fast and loose with that one with my poor character who spends 12 years in essentially solitary confinement. And it has been interesting not so much the confinement which is interesting from a conflict standpoint to write about, but what is even more fascinating is how people treat her when she is finally rescued and brought out of her long captivity. And 12 years is a long time even if you are as she was 80 years old in a rejuvenation society. So she is a young 80, 80 years old, but 12 years is slightly more than 10% of 80. It is a long time proportionally even for somebody that old. So that has been fun. And let's see, we managed to get through prayers in time for me to spend 45 minutes talking to a friend before the net started. That was nice. Even with the full compilence service, that's impressive. And in spite of really long chapters from Leviticus, some of those get really long. They are just impermeable. So that is about all I have done today. Oh, I'm playing Christmas carols again. So I played through the whole of that major set. That was my other accomplishment. Anyway, this is 733388. Thanks Brian for doing the net. And thanks to all of you for listening. I love you all. This is K9EHB back to net.
