I guess I'm feeling a little better now.
I still have something of a cold: the more minor virus used the opportunity to strike after the flu had disabled me for pretty much all of February. (Details in the blog.) As such, I'm aware I still have patron blog subject requests to fulfill -- but now I should be capable of completing them, if the universe will spare me from an episode of relapse. In any case, I'll keep everyone up to date about what's happening there.
If at all possible, I'm going to try and get one more update posted today, on Anchor Foal. If that happens before my local midnight, there will be two post charges for the month: if not, this would represent the only one. But for now, I offer my apologies for everything that's gone wrong this winter, some of which was truly beyond my control -- and just short of 10k on the word count for this new chapter. And with Doctor Gentle's conference now completed, I'm also going to put up a minor blog post in a few minutes.
As the stallion said, I believe the time is now right to take a few questions.
