tealinIt is surprisingly awkward to share one's morning commute with someone who was once a good friend but is now on the opposite side of a small but significant schism.

One of my colleagues is quite ... er ... fond of the way I draw one of the characters in the show. I find this amusingly ironic, or perhaps ironically amusing, and maybe also fitting, considering my personal history with drawings.

When at the library the other day (without my coat, you may recall), I picked up the audio version of Mattimeo. "Obsessed" is too mild a word to describe my relationship to the Redwall books in middle school and I was surprised that, despite the slightly annoying voice cast, I still really really like this book. I also still have many of the key phrases memorized.... it's like going back and watching a movie you watched over and over again as a child... Unfortunately I'm no better at drawing the characters now than I was when I was 14. Sigh.

I got your letter yesterday! Thank you VERY much, I enjoyed it a lot!

Definitely, definitely read the Redwall books in paper. And I advise you to start with the one titled Redwall and stick to the ones written before 1997 until you decide whether you like them or not...
