thanks melo, much appreciated. The first of my shogun stories is no longer online, sadly, I'll have to change that. A sequel is released in the anthology 'The Awakening' in January.

I know where I want to be - it's how to start getting there that's the problem. Do I go into an economic analysis job and risk not being sustainable or go to a sustainable job and risk not being close enough to the economic engine? We'll see...
