Lee. How is your project coming along? Haven't heard much about it of late.

Very slowly, Robert, that's how--but thanks for asking. I've been embedded for way too long with Miguel del Barco, who has info I haven't found
anywhere else [and I'm a snail-speed translator]. Then there's the matter of being tactful about my late relative's placement of the Calleju and other
groups on his map of the south. [I lack the academic credentials for revising it, but figure that as the cartographer who drew it I'm entitled to do
an update [Barco wasn't available when WCM made his maps].
My Introduction takes a nasty--and quite satisfying [I have a mean streak]--shot at our mutual nonfriend's compilation of BC material in that totally
sloppy 1992 book of readings. [I recently noticed that Homer was also a non-friend: he points out that a translation was dead wrong, with none of the
expected subtlety at all.]
I've finished 9 chapters, with 3 to go, and am especially pleased with Chapter 6: "Second Harvest, the Incredible Edible," which is practically
guaranteed to make me infamous.
And my congratulations to you, on having added another entry to your long list.
Lee
sounds good

Lee. Sounds good. Del Barco does have a lot of good info.
