I have a few minutes to try to catch up on FDK-FDK. Apologies in advance that replies will be short - I'm trying to get Trail6 knocked into shape.
Laura The dementia helped because without it, O'Brien probably wouldn't have spoken to Lois (or anyone) about his work. But it did make things a little uncertain.
Evelyn I do try to balance parts - if there's a downer in the part, I try to finish it on a better note.
Joy, Bellarase Yeah, Jonathan.
Elizabeth Sometimes sadness can bring people closer.
Vicki My bets are on Shadbolt. Scardino's too wishy-washy to take a stand, and I still see Menzies more a threat than an ally.
You've got them pegged well. But one might surprise ...
I've never been to Australia, but I can imagine what a great place it must be for family outings. Enjoy!
It is. But this year, it's probably not what you're imagining. After fifteen years of drought, we are getting heaps of rain. Summer hasn't felt much like summer yet. And although our sympathies are definitely with those who have been devastated by the floods, for us, the rain is a wonderful gift.
But it makes 'summer' holidays a little more challenging!
DW The wait for parts - one of the reasons I try so hard to keep my buffer is so I can smooth out the waiting - you still get parts reasonably regularly even when RL gets hectic for me.

Trail - a path or course across rough territory, through woods, or the like.
Amy I guess if M&J were being treated humanely, it's easier to believe there were people other than Trask involved in their "care."
Way back in the prologue, Trask handed off the parents to 'someone else' because his interest was only in the alien.
Michael And you're really making me care about Shadbolt and hope things work out and he gets off o.k. in the end, too.
You'll hear more of Shadbolt's story soon.
Many thanks to everyone for their wonderful FDK. I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond.
Corrina.
