    I loved the segue from the past to the present with the touch to the back and my favorite phrase is 'storm-troubled eyes' This chapter is a carefully crafted combination of eroticism and tenderness.

    Lol - I wanted a slightly surprising exclamation and couldn't resist making a kind of precursor for the animal ones the trio use in Attunga.

    Chapter 23

    I did consider having an over-reaction by the Council or Jarra - which could have led to interesting complications in World opinion and contention with the Corporations and Directed nations - but, as you point out, Baradin and Jarra have always been thoughtful and sensible.

    Yes, I had to think hard about the response and I felt it was Jarra's nature to do something thoughtful but extremely significant. - in effect he's sidelined for many years the part the Directed Nations will have in the great changes ahead.

    MPARNTWE Chapter 23. What? Someone was touching his hair. Jarra felt the beginnings of a smile because it must be Mirri. He did that sometimes when he wanted go places and sleep was a hold-up. A drowsy sense of comfort switched to instant puzzlement while his mind tried to orient itself. Comfort? This was a bed. Memory flooded in as his eyes opened. "Sleepyhead." "Where are we?" In the middle of saying it he took in the smiling faces of Mirri, Karmai, and Akama, and then the healthbot mac

    Well, it's already been said but it was the stand out part of the chapter for me - the three (four really) photos. Like the images appearing in developer, each one took shape in my mind as your words and phrases fixed the detail. I enjoyed the evocative feeling of the barn being a special world and my favorite statement was 'Fetch the hose. There's a raging inferno in here.
  16. Congrats on all your achievements JC. Wow! Your life sounds both full and full on. I'm saying this from a distance where it's easy to suggest that letting one idiot get under your skin is not worth the stress and energy involved. From what you say you have the confidence of a job well done. Use that as your buffer against petty, stupid behaviour. If the bullying (that's what it sounds like) continues then don't wait but get out of the company straight away. Spread the word to all the people who've worked happily with you as to why so they know the real situation. You didn't sign on for stress and unhappiness (lol - maybe for a happy kind of stress). Cheers.
  17. Well, I'd just like to say thank you to both Drak and Westie for the advice in both the above posts. There were useful things to learn from both.
  18. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
  19. 80's babies think they're getting old? Lol - what about us 40's babies then? I emphatically agree with you that time slips into the future at a rapid rate though.

    And this is Mirri's first really sad song.

    Chapter 13

    Yes, Akama is there, associated with the very first independent AIs, and already influencing the course of events.
  22. Curses! Another radiator leak.
  23. Favorite phrase - I didn't feel a thing. lol - nostalgia struck - at all the hours I used to spend in a darkroom. The 'Callie' bit was delightful.
