I’m now caught up on email after my trip to the UK. If you haven’t heard from me by now, your email got lost and wandered off somewhere more interesting than my inbox. So feel free to resend.
There are many posts I’ve promised but not yet delivered: my anti-MS food regimen, my trip to England, the good news I got last month. I haven’t forgotten. I’ll get to them. Really. Maybe also something about Full Metal Jousting, my new Most Favourite Eva TV show.
Meanwhile I’ve been working on Hild. More about that anon.

Hi, glad you're back. I'm looking forward to anything and everything.
This is unrelated to your blog post (though possibly related to Hild): Did you see this Discovery Channel video about Wally Wallington in MI moving immense blocks on his own using counterweights & levers?
YouTube video: http://bit.ly/MovingBigBlocks
His website: http://www.theforgottentechnology.com
I thought it was fascinating, and it made me think of you immediately. Hope you enjoy!
That is pretty cool!
