Manuel,

The visit is set up. I had to push it back to Saturday - I apologize for canceling at the last minute before, but with everything going on lately...

At any rate, it did turn out to be a good thing. A few people will be there whom I think will be able to answer your questions in very interesting ways.

Help?

Of all the... insomnia. Why do I have insomnia? Now of all times? I have a weird sleeping schedule because of my power and the fact that sound hypes me up a bit, fine! But I've never had insomnia! I just don't sleep as much as most!

Now? INSOMNIA!

Gah.

Heya,

Is your dad still running around like a hyperactive chipmunk? Giving that thing we talked about but must not think of to Nathan soon would be wonderful timing I think. Distractions being good and all.

Also?

That much fudge all in the same place? Scary. But fun. Thank you. :)

Huh. Wonder if Cain's ever had any of that fudge?

Hey there,

I'll be wandering over sometime in the early afternoon for yet another edition of Speech Therapy. Will be bringing food. Something new I think. And something special. You don't get to know what 'till I show up though. Nyah.

You looked like you could use some. :) Haven't ever made Mr. Marko any, but he's welcome to as much as he wants.

Dad says he's hoping to have the thing in the mail sometime early next week--he had to wait for a whole bunch of specialty parts from that custom metalwork guy he knows who did some the machining for Lorna's, that time, and then he had to have a book sent over from the Topeka library so he could learn how to chip flint, and that's about when I gave up on doing anything but boggling. I think he's trying to use every single material he can get his hands on, just to be confusing. Anyway, he says it should be here by next Thursday, but if that's not soon enough, he says, he's 'not too old to pull an all-nighter or two once in a while;afhdkj', which I think means Mom was reading over his shoulder and gave him a smack for getting carried away. :)

I could. And I'm bringing some over to Cain for the speech therapy, yeah. I wonder if he's ever had fudge before? He must have...

Oooh. That sounds promising. Very promising. I'm thinking about a puzzle play box for Cain now. Different pressure levels. Hrm.

No getting carried away now - next Thursday is fine. And I'm glad to hear he's been having that much fun with it!

And... how're you doing? :)

Well, you'd hope so. A life without fudge is a pretty sad life.

And remember that Dad mostly works in wood, not titanium. ;)

I'm doing all right. Worried about Doc McCoy, like everybody, but I've been keeping busy and that helps.

Fantastic. I'm ready - have been for over a week now. New server's up and running, stuff's been copied over to it, and the xmit stuff is ready to start pumping packets as soon as I give it the word.

I'm thinking of a First Broadcast sometime next week?

Next week sounds good. Why wait if the Saturday trip out to talk to the specialists gives you all the info you need to get going?

I'll be looking forward to the updates on that project. Have you worked out which format you'd rather use so far from the templates I sent you?

Gonzo, baby. It's an underground station, after all. Why ape Top 40 if you don't have to? Figure I can take requests, highlight new mutant acts, do theme shows - it's not like I have advertisers to worry or funding to mysteriously dry up. It's time to take the power back!

We were half way to Westchester when the drugs began to take hold.

I still think formatting is a bad idea. And I want to go talk to the pros to get an idea for how they do it - I've DJed, but I've never been an on-air personality. I want to know it all - how to keep 'em hooked naturally, how to make and keep things interesting. How to handle requests, how to talk to sponsors, advertisers, sympathizers. How to tell your FCC to go fuck itself.

That sort of thing.

That's what the case studies I'm giving you have as info. What People Have Done Before. You take what you like from that, add in the questions you get to ask and the info you get on Saturday, and then when you're done - you do the What Manuel Did That Was Brilliant And Beat Them All.

Yer a freak.

You need to burn energy is all. Huge amounts of exhausting activity. Mountain climbing, wood chopping, uber shopping.

Subject: I can do that.

Easy. Will go out for extra jog even, before Cain's speech therapy. And find more stuff to do. Right.

Speaking of which. Comments in a certain post and Miles ratting him out reminds me that we need to kidnap him for a day of shopping in town. (Ordering pants by mail is just plain wrong.)

And besides. His clothes are all too big now.

Yes, advance recon is needed. And warning the tailor types that the big grumpy man is not to be trifled with by we're the ones who get to make the decisions.

Of course it's a good plan. I plan therefore I am, mm?

If we move quick enough once we get him out there, we'll keep the big grumpy man so dizzy from all the trying on stuff and looking at materials he'll never think to bully the tailor types.

Bwah ha ha.

It's not my survival I'm worried about. It's - gah.

I really want to sleep. I like sleeping. Have speech therapy soon, for the grumpy one. Will go jogging after that, maybe.
