My dad called from Calgary, this morning. Apparently my Oma (that's German for grandmother) is unwell. She's been admitted to hospital, and she might have to go into a home.

On a brighter note, I've started my second novel. A prequel to the first, more or less. Tells an earlier tale. I went to the library and hammered out the outline. It should be fun.

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
