Brimstone is turning out to be an excellent read. It would be truly unputdownable if not for my feeble attention span and ever impatient state of mind. Time to get the next in the trilogy!

Preview...then actual NDP...then I can finally be rid of this nightmare of a national celebration. It's going to be back to normal band life, all over again till ORD.

Perhaps it would be wise to effect small changes in our state of mind and personal doctrine for greater benefit...or rather, less trouble. Essentially, we're not really changing the way we are, or altering our identity. Not significantly, at least.

All is good when everyone stands a chance to gain.

All is good.
