And acres of jubilant thanks to all of you fine helpers.  It's been well 
over a year since I started this particular brand of poignancy and 
there's no end to the new flow of kind people who are still just 
becoming acquainted with the elf, his pet ham, the time-travelling uncle 
and his dead niece, the goat, the foxes tall and small, et al.  I doubt 
the import or effectiveness of what I'm doing constantly, but I feel 
compelled to do it.  In fact, there's something very compelling about 
working on something of such dubious relevance!!

I'm also happy to say that I've just reorganized my waking hours and 
malloc'd a huge chunk of time each week to work on the book.  
Forthcoming: a sparkly magic beard for cats and a spaceship full of 
married couples and one panda.
