Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Thanks, Kristin! I think when I had the hivemind help me through a lame horse scenario in my first book, we did the rock in hoof thing in a less dramatic way, so I didn't immediately think of it for this one.

Well there are other things too--simple strains etc. Check this site: [link] It might give you some ideas.

In terms of tall ships, I do live next to the Mystic Seaport, you know...living history museum and all...where the (new) Amistad was built...one of the only places in the world where tall ships are still built as they used to be... Also, my aunt is an expert and part of the tall ship commission up in New Hampshire. IJS. I'm pretty much clueless, but I might be able to hook you up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My Shuffle is called Chiclet. I got nothing exciting there.

In terms of tall ships,

I saw the Constellation today! OK, that's all I have.

In irksome news, just got email from coworker who couldn't do a task for me because...the permissions on the site wouldn't allow overwrite. Simple solution: make new files, temporarily direct people to that. A no brainer. But did he do that? NO. I hate it when people don't even try to think the least bit creatively.

After clicking that, I'm doubly glad it's not the first Katie who came to mind.

That's so cool, Kristin!

There's a tall ships festival in Tacoma 7/4 weekend. I have to remember to go. Hopefully I'll get to play with Revolutionary War reenactors' muskets that same weekend.

Should be a lovely turn-of-the-19th century experience--close as I can get to having the TARDIS.

I have a huge weakness for the tall ships. If you get a vacation opportunity, you should come to Sailfest in New London, CT in July! It's a lot of fun, and always a huge gathering of these gorgeous ships. I'm very happy that I'm not going to miss it this year(because of the move, I though I was going to).
