I want to tell everyone that things have been rough. But after finally being able to keep food down, and getting away from chronic depression, I am back to writing.
I admit that I kind of left things in the air. My problem is working to remember the era that I want to bring Hank into. The End of the 20th century is a very real and intoxicating place. I remember sitting in a control room watching to see if the Y2K bug was going to hit our software platforms. We were online with MCI, AT&T and Bell Atlantic / Verizon in a large and crowded room watching the clock run down and then looking to see that the servers running the applications we had written were actually working. They did. We had tested the heck out of them before dawn to make sure.
We went home on Saturday morning, January 1, After one HECK of a Friday night. We were too tired to pop the corks. But we did sleep through the weekend.
And our customers felt good. About our stuff, anyway.
From the software industry perspective, it was the most amazing time in history. From the Political perspective, It was also intriguing.
From the Magic perspective? It remains to be seen.
