Letter from Novashannon
Merry Christmas and Happy New year, Todd! I was just re-reading some of your stuff, and i found that you went to Lehigh University for a year. My parents and siblings all live in Bethlehem, PA!
I enjoyed your stories of the cons, although I confess that I find pants much more comfortable than skirts, and rarely wear skirts. I guess it does make more biological sense for men to wear them, though.
Loved your appearance on that kid show. Guess J. K. Rowling works her magic on all of us!
Will you ever be in this part of the country? (she asked, wistfully).
Waes hael!
Dear Novashannon,
As you can see, I’m quite a bit behind in my mail — I’ll blame it on multiple computer crashes (there was a note on the front page) and working on “Dragon’s Harper” (which I’m still working on).
Anyway, thanks for the wishes and I hope you enjoy the Year of the Fire Pig. It should be prosperous for us all.
I have to say that I didn’t enjoy Lehigh. I did manage to have fun with computers and wrote some Assembly on the mainframe but, aside from that, I found that I didn’t quite fit in — being from Ireland and rather shy.
I don’t know about pants — there’s an argument that for cooling reasons, men shouldn’t wear such constrictive garments. And there’s an argument that for simple protection, women should wear pants. Perhaps we’ve got it all mixed up?
I am looking forward to J.K. Rowling’s seventh book and then I hope she’ll take a (short) break before trying her hand at something new.
Cheers,
Todd
