I know, I know, I do plan on getting back to GHC.
Sorry, but I needed to get the Wafflehouse thing out of the way as well as take a quick break to come up with some better plotlines than I had.
(And yeah, I need to read them too and actually compile the history so <b>I</b> know what the hell is going on.)

It all makes me happy. I do have a question. What is option#2 when they're discussing what to do about the extended WIMP fields? Regardless that it's in reverse, I still don't know.

Option number one was to leave them where they were, not really the best idea.
Option #2 was to open the rear bay, and gradually slow down, allowing that section of tailing mass to enter the ship.
(Ok, it was also a REALLY horribly poop joke.)

Much as I appreciated Wafflehouse 5, allow me to mention that
I NEED MY GHC! 
Now, when can you get on with the story of this poor fool / noble shmuck and post chapter 64? If it's a matter of money, I think I can send food stamps.

I've been waiting pretty desperately too...
But I don't think we will see any GHC till Wafflehouse is done, which is pretty understandable after 63 chapters... |

See, he's been waiting for moths, and I've been waiting for months. Personally I think that moths won't bring the next chapter, but I'm willing to bet on a long shot. So where are the cargo carrying moths with chapter 64?

Ok, fine, so yes, I am actually writing 64 (or at least trying to) while the holidays rage around me.
The following is the opening section:
| Quote: | In the thirteen or so billion years that the universe had existed, a surprising number of the various properties have found themselves manifested themselves in a living being. Naturally, (this probably being the most accurate usage of that word) none of them had any idea of it at the time, instead they simply woke up on the wrong side of a particular dimensional flux and found themselves suddenly an integral part of the conscious of some creature. Even more inexplicable, a number of these inadvertent incarnations were as cats.
This might explain why Edith Sipowitz's cat, Elron, not only had a rather distinguished weight problem, but as the physical manifestation of gravity, also explained just how a thirty-seven pound furball that shakes the floor when it walks by keeps managing to knock the Hummel figurines off the top of the curio cabinet.
Time was probably the most fortunate of the lot, having randomly manifested as Ralph J. Hinkel, a man with a penchant for on-time meetings and an seemingly innate understanding of railway timetables. Ralph otherwise busied himself calculating insurance actuary tables and dreamed.
It should also be noted that had anything in the universe actually been aware of the fact that the fundamentals of existence occasionally took a side trip into the conscious planes, a great many of the trite sentiments attributed to these would have been settled once and for all.
In the case of Time/Ralph Hinkel, it should be noted that Time had never marched on. In fact, it often tended to dally or stroll having long since prior worked out the distance and speed required to arrive and taken the proper precautions to arrive correctly. But if anyone had honestly asked Time/Ralph, particularly after that one office holiday party where "Blotto" had mixed up a "special" batch of his eggnog, and had that particular temporal student managed to hide away in one of Ralph's closets when he had returned to his one room apartment on the fifth floor, they would have learned the truth about Time's preferred mode of locomotion. Time was particularly fond of the Charleston.
In the years after Ralph Hinkel's departure, and the return of that facet of Time to the universe, this would still occasionally manifest itself in the occasional hyper-dimensional fluctuation, which confused many of the leading theoretical temporal physics minds, and was simply dubbed, the Foxtrot Effect.
Naturally (this probably being the least accurate usage of that word) has absolutely no bearing on the story what-so-ever, except to note that it is later and possibly explain the meaning of the phrase, "Time sambas on."

I've got a few ideas to try to wrap up a few loose theads I had dangling about, and I'm still not quite sure where any of them will lead. Suffice to say that things will happen, and with any luck at all, they'll even happen because I actually read some of the older stuff. [/quote]

Okay, now the warm and fuzzy feeling is coming back. Or maybe it's my medication... I'll call you.
Now go write!

Heavens,
<a href="http://unitedheroes.net/grayhound/year4/chap64.html">How did this happen?</a>
(yes, i'll update the top page, but it'll involve a bit of extra work to <strike>break</strike> fix some of the automated stuff.)

I checked. It wasn't the medication.
Very nice, tidy. Only another 280 pages to go and you close this book up and get on to the next one. Back to the keyboard you! We need another 12 pages by next Tuesday.
Mwaaahhh haaahh haaah haaaah haaaah!!!!
