- My Calling -

A sleeping giant (in some cultures like the pygmies, pixies and hazels, 1.86 m is considered gigantic) was roused from deep slumber yesterday by a call from another dimension, as old wounds were reopened.

Histrionics aside, an international call from a most unexpected source was received two days ago, and a short 7-minute talk to two people was just the tonic to get me in the right mood for the rest of the day. Small comfort that I was in too much of a stupor to indulge in a spot of hysteria.

Thanks again, Liwen and Brendan, for your impromptu call from Wisma; I'll see you in July when we shall make like Napoleon and conquer Europe. 'cept none of us is a short frenchy with a knack for sticking a hand between the buttons of our shirts. I can take you to Waterloo though.
