‘Cause it’s one of the largest challenges that we imagine we’ll have to face in the coming months, and a conversation broke out about it again tonight right after Adrian and I shared a quick smoke outside of our local Home Depot. About it all. Right after leaving work today, I drove directly to Culver’s because I was starving and I wanted a burger, and I wanted an Oreo mixer, because dammit, I wanted to treat myself. Earlier this afternoon, I had my first treatment at my new dentist, the one I chose after moving away from the quick-stop-shop-of-dentistry that I had experienced in February. Yesterday, I had missed it, and I hadn’t realized at all. Maybe because I’ve been so busy these past few weeks and had allowed myself to either totally space the original appointment time, or simply made the error of writing it in for Thursday instead of Wednesday. Until I got a call from the office wanting to see if I wanted to reschedule. Later, I did — and today, the appointment was a breeze. Leeann greeted me at the door right when I got there at 11:30. I was really happy about that. Guided by friendly staff and encouraged by a quick hello from the dentist, they had me in the chair by 11:37 and the needle in me shooting Novocaine by 11:45. And when I started loosing the numb? No big deal. They shot me again without resistance, and then the hygienist and I sat there and talked, waiting patiently for it to kick in. It was so comfortable, I went up to the office - and I never do that after dental work. And when the numb totally wore off (by about 2:30 - I metabolized it fast) there was no pain, no swelling, and no soreness from getting several shots. I think things are getting better. Either that, or this dentist is actually competent. So, while at work today, I spend some time with Josh and Chris and Dan talking about how things are going with the Myst project and they’re all excited to hear. Then, I end up leading an hour focus group on some design alterations for a couple of websites that we’re currently putting together. And then it was time to leave. So, I call Adrian right after I get out the door and we start talking more about the project - a discussion that got interrupted when I had to go because Carla started to not feel well last night (she’s better now). At which point, I then headed to Culver’s, tried to call Tira, and then got a call from Adrian while in the drive through at which point I discovered that he was across the street at the bank, which is in Home Depot’s parking lot. So I head over there, and we continue our conversation while sitting in our Hondas. He tells me about how Christine left him a voice mail about Micam watching the presentation endlessly. And then I tell him that she called me too, but I actually answered so I could talk to my son. We parted ways. I called him about 30 seconds later, telling him that I might have found an option for Anna. He’s looking forward to seeing my option, and hopes as well that it may lead us to a starting point, because the days of putting together this package and reaching out to talent to sign on is getting closer and closer, and we only know for sure who we’re going after for Veovis and A’gaeris.
And no, I’m not drunk right now. There may just be some code in this…

Can’t get past looking for missing capital letters. Does it only give “The Book of Tiana” as the movie base, and that’s it?

Code?
Ok, Mysties, do your best. I was never good at these hidden code things.
