All:

Details still need to be finalized before I can make that announcement, but progress is indeed being made. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

VanimaEdhel:

Thank you kindly for the welcome. * bows *

Orofacion of the Vanyar:

Congratulations on your new abode. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I was more right than I realized when I jokingly quoted that comment about how wizards are never late. Phenomenally strange, the synchronicity of the timing, and on two counts.

1) First thing out of the supervisor's mouth was, "You're an hour early! Didn't anyone call you?" Seems they had changed the start time from noon to 3:00 p.m. ... and I showed up at 2:00 p.m., unawares.

2) At 2:30 p.m., I looked up from the blueberries I was eating, startled to see two friends standing before me. They had decided to surprise me by showing up with no advance notice. If I hadn't arrived at 2:00 p.m., I would have arranged to arrive at 3:00 p.m. instead ... and missed my friends by a half hour.

As for your artistic excuse, Orofacion of the Vanyar, how about this as an alternative of yours? "Artists are never late ... they just easel into the day." [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Naaramare:

Curiosity killed the cat. ... Satisfaction brought it back. The announcement will be worth the wait I hope, and thank you for your kind interest. * bows *

Bethberry:

* blushes at your compliment about being an exclusive Tolkien purist * Best of luck to you on your ongoing house renovations. We at On Patrol eagerly await your return, as your schedule permits. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
