Hey guys.  It’s official

Jul 13, 2004

Hey guys. It’s official, we’re sick and injured. Jonathon has a virus, and I’ve pulled my gracilis. If you don’t know what muscles that is, look it up. Believe me, if you’ve ever injured it, you won’t soon forget. Gracilis, the name is almost pretty. Oh, well.
Didn’t get a lot of pages done yesterday with the doctor trips and all, but I made some notes, and did some research, and I think most of it will get used today. Okay, most of the research I did yesterday will get used today. The research I did this morning before breakfast will probably not get used today, or perhaps at all. Research is often like that, you cast your net wide, and sometimes you catch something you can eat, and sometimes it’s just pretty, but you’ve got to throw it back. I would say what book I finished research in, but I think it would give people the wrong idea about exactly what direction this Merry book is taking. I just don’t want to fuel the speculation, when I’m almost a hundred percent certain people would take it in a direction that I am not going.
It’s funny about these internet rumors. There seems almost no way for me, or Darla, or Jonathon, to convince people that we didn’t say it, or what we did say, didn’t mean that. People seem so much happier not believing us.
Gotta go make pages. I’m hoping this will be the last day I use the cane. Yeah, that’s right, cane. I do very few things half-way, it’s either full out, or don’t start. Sigh.
