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.
