The letter is almost finished. That will be a great burden off my shoulders, because I will end it in such a way that clearly indicates I will not perpetuate this Kobayashi Maru scenario (those familiar with Star Trek will recognize it from the second movie as the "No Win Scenario" officers on the way to becoming Captain are put through). Anything I get from anyone on this matter will just go in my archive and not be answered.
On a related note though, I learned something about the way the US Senate (and House too) sends mail. They have a process called "Franking" which means Senators and Representatives use their signature instead of a stamp on their official correspondence. I think Congress allots so much funding to cover those costs every year or something like that. It's just neat to know that little thing about the Government system.
With the letter almost done, I can put more time and energy into whtdragon's challenge picture which I really hope to have done soon.

You and whtdragon were the two I spoke of when I said I had it out a a request with a couple people (it may have gotten lost among the other topics in the comment I posted the other day), I'm glad you're up for the challenge of doing it. I get really classic pictures like that in my head all the time, but I can never get them onto paper the way I want them. I just need more time to hone my skills then I'll be able to really do those thing I see in my head. There's no time limit, and just let me know when you upload it so I can link to it here.

If you want to try, please do, but don't rush it, there's no hurry. I understand that people have busy schedules.
I've read a few of Shakespeare's plays.

I was required to read two Shakespeare plays (different years) Romeo and Juliet my Freshman high school year, and Hamlet my Senior year. I've read MacBeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, and several others of which the names ellude me. Those were all for my own sake, not required reading, but when you're in Theatre class, you kind of pick up an interest in reading the greats for your own benefit. I've also read Oedipus Tyrannos and Antigone, ancient Greek plays both very good (Antigone is the sequel to Oedipus Tyrannos, she's Oedipus' daughter). I've also read Plato's remarks on Atlantis, and I have to say I'm convinced he knew the American continent existed, just by how his description of where Atlantis is located was worded. I'll dig up that passage for another post.

LOL. I can picture that in my head. Let me know when that one gets done, I'd love to see it.
