Hail to all servants of The Land! I have been keeping the legend of the Halfhand alive for uncounted ages here in the northern wilds. Thus I am astonished and also well-pleased to discover such fellow true acolytes of the Ringwielder here at Kevin's Watch! I humbly and gravely pledge to honor the sanctity of this privileged realm.
(Translation: Where I live, the odds of stumbling into someone else who has read The Chronicles are about as low as running across an albino ur-vile. So it's nice to find a corner of the web where people have a good grasp on all things Donaldson. I've already lost a lot of sleep (I need Bloodguard pills)reading all the past threads, but hey, at least I'm up to speed on what's going on! Oh, and I'll try not to make a fool of myself around here.Thanks and I'll head for bed now.

Welcome, Matrixman!! Well met, and be true! 
And btw, interesting that you made your first post five months after joining!
Hmmm, not sure you're our kind of people. You'd be the only one her to NOT make a fool of himself, and the rest of us would feel even worse than we already do!Matrixman wrote:Oh, and I'll try not to make a fool of myself around here.Thanks and I'll head for bed now.

Hey, wait a minute, I'm still awake! Yes, F&F, I did officially join, er, long ages ago, but that's in Land-time. In Earth-time, that would've been, um, just a few days ago? A week at the outside? Sorry I don't have my Earth/Land/Matrix time calculator on me. Anyway, it's a long story...how much time you got?

hey there
i'm colin, hereafter leper messiah.
i've read the covenant chronicles (initially under great duress, progressively with pleasure) through the one tree, currently stymied just past the elohim. i've read the gap books, finest space opera i've found in quite a while though i've been saving iain m banks' culture novels for a rainy day. just completed eco's name of the rose, positively floored. also working on stephenson's quicksilver and jaynes' origin of conciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind. this is a lit discussion board, no?
i'm married to annie, who is bird and bear here. father of two. we plan to attend the gathering in new mexico next summer, so i'll eventually be meeting some of you.
i'm an IT geek for municipal government, a great place to be these days.
currently listening to calla, users.vei.net/eacherhundreds/eh101-calla-mp3.htm
that's me, then. i'll write more as time allows, whenever i can tear bird_and_bear from the computer.

There are two ways to wash the dishes. One way is to wash them to get them clean.
The other way is to wash them in order to wash the dishes.

Matrixman 
leper messiah,
Good to have you with us! We all love b&b, so the guy who's making her happy is one of our favorite people right from the start.
Sky,
Good luck with the promotion. And good luck with getting paid!! That's a key component of any job, imho.

Welcome, Matrixman. Welcome, Leper Messiah (shall I bow to you? ). Be Welcome and True.
). Be Welcome and True."It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Hail and well met Matrixman and Birdie's Hubby!!! Be welcome and true to the Watch!
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.
