I went out to try to catch sunrise at near the equinox. The official day is tomorrow but it might be cloudy.
The true astronomical equinox for this location is not until the 25th. I talked about why that is.

I pray that you find yourself in that wonderful confluence of circumstances that leads to writing many more books.
I would like to put in a plea for the next Trader Tale. I realize that you may have exhausted the ‘share’ cycles, but poor Ishmael is in such a wounded state. I can’t explain why fiction is so character driven for me, but I have read and listened to the Trader Tales books over and over again until Owner’s Share. I loved it also, but somehow the way it ends discourages me from revisiting the entire series.
I look forward to your writing the tale that begins his emotional healing so that the series will live again in my imagination.
In support of happier endings I submit an article on why Darwin read Austen:
