For Readers of The Syndicate of Eternal Friendship
I finished Chapter 35 on Saturday. I am thrilled because it took so long and because Patrushka thinks it's pretty good. So I'm excited to get it out to you, my select group of readers, to get some feedback.
But this morning I woke up with an idea for a kind of coda to the chapter that takes place three months later, that I think will make the story better.
After that I got a notice from that the library that the books on patent law I ordered have come in, and after scanning through them this afternoon I realize I have to make a few alterations to the chapter as written. Since the story is so fantastic it some ways I want it to be balanced by being very realistic in other ways - like the rules surrounding what is and what is not an infringement on somebody's patent.
Don't worry, it's not going to be boring. I've never written a boring word in my life.
So I'm not finished after all. But I expect it will be in the mail this week.

Well, till the next chapter comes out I suggest you do just what the cats do around here. Go take a nap in the sun. If you can't find any sun, then jump up on the guest room bed and wriggle under the patchwork quilt until only your paws stick out. Stay there until dinner.
Cats around here never seem bored. I don't know. Maybe you should stop reading Kierkegaard and just read back issues of the Pondering Pig.
Whaddya mean, "Patrushka thinks it's pretty good?" Doesn't Patrushka laugh and snort and cry enough to rate "Patrushka thinks it's fabulous! She thinks I'm the best writer since CHARLES DICKENS!" I'll try to do better next time!
