jeriendhalFamily: We took Georgia out to the Chuck E. Cheeze in Frederick for a meet up with three other families that adopted from the same orphanage. She had a blast and Thomas was reasonably well behaved. Though I am coming to the conclusion that the Chinese government tends to, ahem, shade the truth a tad when they're matching orphans to families. I thought it was a rather amazing coincidence when Georgia just happened to have the same birthday as me, and thought she was rather big for her age when we got her. This pales however, to the one young lady who was adopted at the tender age of twelve last year, and looks a whole lot more like sixteen. Her parents aren't complaining, and it actually doe help her with cathing up in school, but it was still a rotten thing to do.
Oh, and when did Chuckie's get rid of the creepy animatronic performers? I missed 'em.
Nano: I've still got a chapter or so to write on this story, but I'm burned out from my big push towards the end, so I'm letting it lie for a bit. Looking back what I've written, I can see I basically chopped out a big section of what should have been Nafir training at the Council Island and bonding with Shaffa and Chizoba. I could easily add at least a third to the book in that section alone. Meanwhile, while the primary crisis is resolved the plot certainly isn't. There's an investigation to be had to find The Man behind Lord Gacheru, Shaffa's Mysterious PAst (tm) to be relvealed, and maybe this time around I should actually think of the plot if that tale before I start writing.
