Willem typed: "If Donna had information otherwise : let us know please."
I have told all I'm afraid. I asked, "I'm looking forward to Lurulu, how is it going?" The reply, "With glacial slowness." Communication - with time delays as they were - may have been confusing.
Willem typed: "btw: a very sharp plan : using a bit of feminine charm is something most of us could not use to draw an ARC into our possesion. What I see from your email address is that you would have to fly quite a distance before you get to Jack Vance."
Rich typed: "Wouldn't you if you could?"
Willem... "Seriously: suppose he would have accepted your offer, would you go?"
Rich... "If you could afford it, why not."
I'm sure Mr Vance does not want some twitching girl slobbering over his voice recognition. However, if the call came, I would drop everything. After all, how many chances does one get to experience complete bliss? Even if I had to hold my breath for fear of distracting the Master of Manuscript - I would sit, quietly turning the color of chatowsies - and grinning all the way.
You bet I'd go! But the real purpose for me would not be the "ARC Race", but the sheer honor of being useful to someone I admire so much.
I can definitely type faster than he can talk:
*And I can spell in American.* (heh heh) **Donna**
Postscript: You'll all be horrified, I know, but I am reluctantly hoping he can afford to give up the scramble for SVUs, and maybe take it easy now.
