To those waiting on reviews: I'm tied up into and maybe through Tuesday.  I'll get back to you then.

Thank you for the kind words.  I hope and expect to put four to six hours into reviews in the next, let's see, 13 hours.  I'm making progress on long, drawn-out circuit project, and also want to do another prototype of a seemingly simple circuit (about the ninth, each with one or two refinements) and most of what's left are physical design problems.  At the moment, I've got no off-website review commitment.

Wow!  Many congratulations, and we've been privileged to see you develop your work here.

I haven't been getting many reviews done, but I've got one started and another on the list.  However, right now, I've been asked to work on something else.  That will have me tied up through mid-week, or maybe all of it.

If the disease hasn't progressed to the point where you're thinking of going to the hospital, find a doctor who'll put you on hydroxychloroquine plus either azothromycin or doxycycline, plus zinc.  It won't work if you're too far along, but (in spite of the bad press) there's good evidence it works in the early stages.

Congratulations!

I am in the doldrums creatively.

Here's a video on creativity be John Cleese: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=you … b5oIIPO62g .  He states that we need a mentally playful mood, and names some things that block it.  Looking at the walls of my apartment, at i complete projects, and at tasks that need to be done is doing it to me.  I'm trying to make progress, even small progress, on the various tasks and projects, but that is only part if the problem.

Some of you know that my social needs are low, but not zero.  Another writer, successful and published, says that she needs to see a few strangers a day, shopping, dining out, etc.  And that is what is denied me.

I'm hoping that we get at-home tests for both antibodies and infection, produced affordably in billion-a-day numbers.  That's what it will take to peel back the restrictions.  It looks like the first ones are about two weeks away, but the quantity and price will make it take longer.

Bear in mind that rubble bounces and debris can be flung with great velocity.  It doesn't come crashing down into a neat pile.  Things bounce off the pile as it's forming.
Oh, and the floor will shake, and get cracked into slabs.  I don't know what it rests on.  If it rests on earth, the slabs may tilt a little or a lot.  If there's structure beneath, some of it will probably collapse.
I'll discourse on the physics if you like.

I've got outline material for about two thirds of Prelude to SP: Kirsey.  I found myself filling in a later chapter (or maybe several) dealing with Caneth, Melayne, and friends leaving the Academy.  It has a certain slapstick quality and I'm wrassling it into a second draft.  Again beginning in the (late) middle, I hope to have it up in 60 hours.  It's also the beginning of the end for Kirsey's career at the Academy.
