A note to new readers: Philip the Bard is a character from my book series. He has come to be the historian of his time. These blog posts are from his perspective.
Welcome festive readers, thanks for being here. It’s been a while hasn’t it?
I needed a break from the writing. I hope you haven’t missed me too much. I’ve been spending time with my wife Ina and the kids and grand kids. I’ve been playing with my band the “Gutterminds” on weekends and visiting with my friend Dorian Thain when I can. Dorian is mostly retired these days so he has more time for me and my tall tales.
Life on planet Kusha hasn’t changed much in the last few months. The harvest last fall was great and the festivals were wonderful. Spring is starting here, near Harappa City and the Denstums are already blooming.
The only sad news to report is that Max Gavaskar’s health seems to be fading. She has been receiving visitors lately from all over the Milky Way but her schedule is dwindling. I am hoping to get one more visit with her in the coming weeks. She has invited Dorian to visit her soon and I am hoping to tag along. If I do I will make a transcript of the visit available here on the blog.
In the mean time I plan to resume writing regularly here about life here in Harappa City and around the Milky Way. The galactic news that most folks are waiting for is the return of the Andromeda Mission of the Fordians. They still call it Galaxy Two but most people have switched to the human name. They are expected to return within a month. What will they have found in the nearest galaxy? Is there sentient life there or is the Milky Way the only inhabited collection of stars? What else is out there?
Keep posted and we’ll find out together.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
