Moving 2014-05-06
Wow - one of those big life transitions coming up... half a fire's worth, according to the old cliche.
All the best with your preparation and move, Paul - take good care of your family. We'll be here when you get back.
(Atsali and Castela are going to have time for plenty of cake!)

Good luck, Paul. Just remember to settle down on the lee of the stone.

Yup, we'll be OK, Paul. You just worry about staying sane whilst uprooted; we'll keep ourselves occupied here. And we promise to play nice with any guest artists.

For a true treasure like Wapsi Square, we'll wait. Take your time, do what needs doing.
Me, I just might take the time for an archive binge...

Real Life comes first! We'll be around....
Umm, State Well? As in State approved water well or some quantum thing for high powered laser design? Having a disconnect thinking of Casa Pablowaspi being guarded by the Cobra Defense System needing and upgrade!
At least it keeps away pesky salesmen and such.

- Lasers are a quantum phenomenon, which work by using energy to raise subatomic systems to a higher energy state and then releasing this energy in a controlled fashion.
- Modern nano-manufacturing processes can create one- and two-dimensional "quantum well" structures, which make it easier to control such quantum transitions electronically.
- Wapsiverse demons are also a quantum phenomenon
- Based on his Amazon wish lists over the past few years, it appears that Paul is fond of target-pistol shooting. He's written a similar habit into Monica's character, as well.
It's likely that this is a long-standing dream of his, dating back to the first time he ever succeeded in getting a demon to lase properly. There's no question: Paul misses Doubt-fire.

No worries. Another favorite webcomic, Girls In Space, is also in the middle of a "Moving into a new home" hiatus, and the readers are being treated to pin-ups, and the continuation of Spence's second "Alphabet Girls" series, this time based on reader suggestions. As long as we get occasional hints that you're still alive, all is groovy with me.

Agree with all the comments posted above. Take as mush time as you need - we'll make do with horrid puns - and assorted Picture Posts. We have enough avid posters to keep us all amused .

Looking at the pattern of Atsali's wings, I think one of my uncles could make some really impressive War Dance bustles with enough loose feathers.

Re: Moving 2014-05-06
was this a sudden thing, or something that was planned, but just not likely to happen... until it did!... i'm curious because the way you said that "we JUST found out that we WILL BE moving" and then the next line "and NEED TO BE PUT in a new state" sounds like this was an involuntary forced-move (to me anyways)... is everything OK otherwise?

Re: Moving 2014-05-06
My dad was with the same company for nearly 30 years when the company's parent decided to sell off most of its subsidiaries. The new parent sent Dad and much of his department to shore up another subsidiary 825 miles away the following year. Dad moved and scouted for our new home in his spare time; he returned for us that June. The movers finished packing everything and loading their truck a couple of days after my 11th birthday, around 1AM. We spent the rest of the night in a motel.

Re: Moving 2014-05-06
You definitely have my sympathies Paul. I've moved enough times in my life that it is way down on the list of things I want to do. (Somewhere below handing a monkey a loaded pistol) Good luck and take your time, the fans will wait.

Google "Act 10" and "Ethan Allen School", and you'll have found out why I wasn't around much in 2011.

Re: Moving 2014-05-06
Old-school military brat here, we moved every 18 months or so, along with summers in exotic locations while Dad was TDY. 47 states and 3 foreign countries by the time I was 15. Not to mention the year I registered for 4 schools and only got to attend 2 because we had to move before we could go to school... 8th grade was very hard on me.
I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.
