Thank you all for coming! And for everyone watching and participating from home via that camera, we hope you can enjoy the day ~almost~ as much as being there!
CAN YOU SPEAK UP? YOU'RE A WHOLE SEAT AWAY AND I CAN BARELY HEAR YOU! :)
It's both - well, the characters are all magic users. The crime appears to be by ordinary means, but that's because the murder isn't the true crime... heh, funny how my brain works sometimes. I scribbled up those first sentences to try something with a noir-y kind of feel, and what do you know, now it all makes sense.
I shall go write a paragraph or two...
See if this gives you any ideas:
'twas lovely chatting, but I'm off to do my evening chores. Hasta manana.

The artist is at work :)
The artist is frowning... I get Castor, he's easy. But Pollux... I don't know Pollux. Who is he... what are his motivations, other than making Castor's life difficult?
Have a good evening!
"The artist is frowning... I get Castor, he's easy. But Pollux... I don't know Pollux. Who is he... what are his motivations, other than making Castor's life difficult?"
Maybe to do Pollux you need to think like an annoying brother :) Pollux is the older one, right? Which one of them gets along with father better and which gets along with mother better? Why does he like making Castor's life difficult?--what's in it for him?
Does Pollux typically assign Castor the legwork because he sees it as "beneath" him and thus as a way to humiliate Castor? Will he be annoyed if Castor solves the mystery even though he (Pollux) is the better detective? Maybe they have different methods of problem-solving and that's part of a rivalry between them?
I'm getting a bit of a handle on it. I shall see whether my email deigns to let me in tonight - check in five minutes.
'kay! :)
Heh...yeah, that one brought tears to my eyes, too! And I was reading them at work and trying not to be noticeable, but my shoulders were shaking so hard...
I don't have those cookbooks, but I do have some from about that time period. I can remember laughing at the poor colors and drawings, but the commentary on that site really cracked me up.
I thought she had disappeared from here! Glad she found her way safely through Mirkwood!
Evening all... ecurbh and I had a nap this afternoon, I think sometimes I'd like to sleep for a whole day!
Ecurbh is working on the time lapse gif of the wedding day at the beach house, from all the webcam images. It seems it ~was~ actually working, and there is an image saved every five minutes from sunup to sundown. It'll be neat.
I will help you bear this burden, HairoftheDog,
as long as it is yours to bear.
You're back! How was music night?
Speakin' of White Trash...
Nana's back and fillin' me in on her days in North Carolina. I just have to sit and roll my eyes. How my wife and her younger sister got out of that family with two full sets of teeth I'll never understand.
You just can't make this stuff up.
Here they are sittin' on the dock.
And here's me when I saw 'em.
Cool, that looks like ham and cheese...my fav. And I see WN got to check it out too. Hope you liked it, we sure did, and they really cater to the army in there. Thanks for the omlette. Steve
Hi, Hair! Glad you and ecurbh got a nap in--I bet you needed it! :)
Good. Quiet. We played a lot of waltzes...things we hadn't played in awhile.
Kind of in come-down mode since we just did one gig and don't have another until late July. So it was relaxed.
