Yeah, that was neat. Where were we when? Oh, and thanks--it is now a fact: you are working entirely too hard.

Work too hard? Me? Yeah, well, possibly. Term paper is due the end of next week. Whoever wrote this syllabus was not in good humor. Weekly paper is still due as well as the term paper. [sigh]

Were you surprised that the term 'blockhead' went back this far?

98 is PL OK

Now the you mention it. Gil buries his dad. (By the way, I was the teacher who asked entirely too much and when I think back I groan.)

20:26 longish pause mid sentence. You might consider trimming here a bit.

99 is spot check PL OK. I'll check the next chapter when I can. Busy week until after next Sunday. A midterm in one class and a term paper and final in the other. An 8 week course combined with a 16 week course is very confusing.

I hope you are well. I wish you triumph in your battle with your Goliath.

Thank you both. Still in over my head but I needed a break so section 100 is PL OK!

Section 101 is PL OK. I have missed our Gil Blas.

Thank you for your patience.

Yeah, we need to find out what is next. Thanks for your collaboration.

Well, what do you know? I'm finally caught up. Section 102 is PL OK!

I have done some chapters, but I won't tell you the surprise. I am going to let it be a surprise, in other words--or is it in the same words. And there is a personal surprise too: family vacation south of the border the whole of next week (if we can get over that wall--oh yeah, we're flying), so you get a reprieve. Thanks for all you do, Jim

Oh my, and engagement and a reuniting of bride and groom.

“It is a bad policy to lock up a reformed drunkard in a wine cellar.” lol indeed.

You read about people being gifted a house so large they “discover” an entire section after having lived there. It makes me wish I had been born in that age but my luck I would have been a scullery maid.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday! Make lots of memories.

I did one last big one before leaving. Talk to you soon. Thanks, Jim

PL ok. I added a section to the MW for the next chapter which is the continuation of Scipio's story.

I hope you made some great memories!
