My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: His Exalted Highness Duke Roger the Sanguine of Goosnargh on the Carpet Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title

That makes some kind of sense, because I am definitely on the carpet. As you might have guessed, if you cared enough to notice, I've lost interest in the cosmology rehash. It looks like I'm going to leave it half done, like I do so much else. But after getting back into a fantasy epic and overdosing on differential geometry and cohomology, I'm just tired of trying to surround it all with my own mind right now. Instead, I've got a hankering to go back and say something of my own past again, of a time when the world still felt big. I had a dream last night about one of my family's vacations and, before I lose the feeling, I think I should write out the memories of that trip as best I remember them. So... next.
