[17:18] <KK> How is everybody?
[17:18] <Wrengl> great deal of pain
[17:18] <the_Bee> percoset kicking in yet, Pat?
[17:18] <Wrengl> just took my percoset
[17:18] <Wrengl> but my narc patch does not change for an hour and a
half
[17:18] <Debbie-VB> I'm doing OK, anxiously awaiting my copy of CM
which is on order from Chapters
[17:18] <TheDeryni> Fine, thank you.
[17:19] <KK> Then don't go until I talk to you about Thanksgiving
dinner. Does anyone have plans to go to the Charred Rib that evening,
'cause Scott will be arriving around 6ish, and asked about join us.
[17:19] * TheCat hugs wrengl
[17:19] <jemler> doing good here
[17:19] <TerryOBrien> Doing okay ... had a non-fiction book proposal
turned down by the publisher, but I understand their reasoning, so I'm
working on another for them
[17:19] <KK> What's with all these meds?!
[17:19] <Wrengl> charred rib sounds good to us
[17:19] <Debbie-VB> I'll be there in spirit
[17:19] <the_Bee> wish I were going
[17:19] <KK> Excellent!
[17:20] <Wrengl> bad back pain mostly
[17:20] <Samuel> charred rib.... on thursday?
[17:20] <KK> Any of the rest of you coming?
[17:20] <Wrengl> some cancer pain
[17:20] <Wrengl> oncologist is trying to get pain controlled
[17:20] <KK> Ow! That isn't allowed!
[17:20] <Wrengl> had a bone scan firday
[17:20] <Wrengl> had cat scan, hip xray, and spine xray last week
[17:20] <Wrengl> see oncologist tuesday
[17:20] <KK> Yike! It hasn't migrated, has it? Please tell me it
hasn't....
[17:20] <Debbie-VB> Keep that up Pat and you will be glowing
[17:21] <Wrengl> does not look like it.
[17:21] <TheDeryni> I wish I could, but alas I cannot.
[17:21] <KK> whew!
[17:21] <Wrengl> gynocologist said tumor may have actually shrunk
[17:21] <jemler> that's good to hear wrengl
[17:21] <Wrengl> but oncologist wants to ensure it has not migrated
[17:21] <Wrengl> it can't
[17:21] <KK> I'll want a full report when I see you! Then we can
fine-tune the prayers. :-)
[17:21] <TheDeryni> That's great Wrengl
[17:21] <Samuel> KK: Are you saying Charred Rib on Thursday?
[17:21] <Wrengl> we are cruising in 2008 - halfway through the panama
canal
[17:22] * Debbie-VB sends Pat a bunch of anti-migration good-vibes
[17:22] <Wrengl> thanks all
[17:22] <KK> Yes, Sam. Can you join us? I know OSM is going there
Saturday, but I don't mind at all!
[17:22] * TheCat seconds those vibes
[17:22] <the_Bee> osm?
[17:22] <Debbie-VB> Only half-way?
[17:22] * TheDeryni thirdies those vibes
[17:22] <KK> Wow, Panama Canal. And you guys have got the cruising bug
bad!
[17:22] <KK> cruising bug
[17:23] <Wrengl> yes the ship turns around half way through the canal
but there are 6 other ports of call and it is a 10 day cruise
[17:23] <Samuel> hmmm.... It might be tough. I'll either be in Delta,
PA with my family or Bel-Air, MD with my family in my Dad's hospital
room.
[17:23] <Wrengl> yes we do
[17:23] <TheCat> rented fingers, KK?
[17:23] <Samuel> it all depends on when he is released.
[17:23] <the_Bee> why is he there?
[17:24] <KK> Yep, rented fingers. Actually, borrowed fingers, in this
wee cottage, along with the steam-powered internet connection.
[17:24] <jemler> pile on the coal, kk
[17:24] <TheCat> :-d
[17:24] <KK> How's you dad doing, Sam?
[17:24] <the_Bee> in which country, Katherine?
[17:24] <jemler> he dad do fine
[17:24] <Samuel> Bee: my dad? we wish the doctors could give us a
straight answer.....
[17:24] <KK> And it's COLD here, and blowing like a son of a gun!
[17:25] <RainbowDragon> How goes the home search?
[17:25] <Samuel> Dad said yesterday that he's feeling better than when
he was left out of the hospital a week or so ago.
[17:25] <KK> Still looking. We hope to make a decision before the end
of the year.
[17:25] <jemler> I always feel better after leaving the hospital, too
[17:25] <Samuel> KK: there are a couple houses for sale down the street
from me.
[17:25] * TheDeryni wants to ask Katherine a question. Looks abashed
because doesn't want to interupt
[17:25] <Debbie-VB> House hunting is such fun isn't it?
[17:25] <KK> Period properties?
[17:26] <KK> Speak, TheDeryni@!
[17:26] <Samuel> KK: sorry....
[17:26] <TheDeryni> Are any of the deryni books published in
portuguese?
[17:26] <Samuel> Jemler: yea, but he's *IN* the hospital saying he
feels better than the day they let him out.
[17:26] <KK> Woo, good question. I don't think so. Lots of other
languages, but I don't think Portuguese.
[17:27] <Samuel> he's been admitted to the hospital 3 times this month.
[17:27] <RainbowDragon> Is there a list somewhere of the languages your
books are in?
[17:27] <TheDeryni> ok. My wife is from Brasil, and I'd like her to
read them.
[17:27] <the_Bee> on the website?
[17:27] <KK> It's--dare I say it?--a sort of minority language? Not
worthwhile for any but a Portuguese publihser. Got any connections?
[17:27] <jemler> wow sam, that sucks! hope he feels better for
thanksgiving!
[17:28] <Wrengl> so do i sam
[17:28] <TheDeryni> No, unfortunately
[17:28] <KK> That might be on the website. I know my bibliography is
annotated, that I keep in my computer. Should that be added to the
wedsite, if it isn't there already?
[17:28] <Wrengl> well i am going to go lie down and wait for patch time
[17:28] * the_Bee sends accurate-diagnosis-and-get-well-quick woodgies
to Sam's dad
[17:28] <Wrengl> may be back, however
[17:28] <Samuel> That makes a bunch of us that hope he feels better
soon.
[17:28] <jemler> take care, wrengl
[17:29] <Wrengl> thanks
[17:29] <TheCat> Have a good rest, wrengl.
[17:29] <TheDeryni> cya Pat
[17:29] <Wrengl> happy thanksgiving to all
[17:29] <KK> See you Wednesday, Wrengl.

[17:30] <kirienne> Hi Everyone
[17:30] * Bynw has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:30] <DeryniBot> The smell from Wrengl's kitchen draws Bynw into
the chat.

[17:30] <TheDeryni> Hi kirienne

[17:30] <Debbie-VB> Trying hypnosos via the internet?
[17:30] <Bynw> Hiyas all

[17:30] <TheCat> Hi, kirrienne
[17:30] <jemler> het bynw
[17:30] <TheDeryni> Hi Bynw
[17:30] <KK> Why not?
[17:30] <the_Bee> hi bynw
[17:30] <Samuel> Wrengl: I'll be there Friday Morning at the latest to
help you guys carry stuff.
[17:30] <kirienne> hi kk
[17:31] <KK> Hi-ho.
[17:31] <kirienne> How goes the house hunting KK?
[17:31] * Bynw goes to kiss his 3 girls (2 of them have fur)
[17:31] <TheCat> Yes, Debbie, I think she is. :-D Wrengl sees only the
sight of KK's words! :-D
[17:31] <KK> Still hunting, but narrowing down the field.
[17:31] <the_Bee> have you narrowed your choices down any, Katherine?
[17:32] <KK> Bynw, how are those spotty-tummied girls doing? Getting
big, I'll bet.
[17:32] <KK> Yes, Bee.
[17:32] <Bynw> yeah they are ... you can find pics of them at
http://bynw.psionics.net/bengals/
[17:32] <Debbie-VB> I'd love a bengal Kitty myself
[17:33] * Bynw has 2
[17:33] <Debbie-VB> those are majorly cute kittens Bynw
[17:33] <TheCat> Thanks, Bynw
[17:33] <Bynw> they will be 6 months old on the 22nd
[17:34] <Mistyck> hiyas kk
[17:34] <Debbie-VB> getting beyond kittenhood
[17:34] <Bynw> no they are still just babies
[17:35] * Bynw will think that when they are 6 years old too
[17:35] <kirienne> lol
[17:35] <TheCat> Hi, Mistyck
[17:35] <the_Bee> you said the breed matures fast
[17:35] <Samuel> KK: I have a question about "The Adept" books.
[17:35] <KK> Ask.
[17:36] <Bynw> hmmm didnt we make you a channel op in here Sam ....
[17:37] <Samuel> Humphry has worked for the Sinclair family for 25
years. Presumably, he's been aware of Philipa and Adam's activities
for a good bit of that time.
[17:37] <KK> Yes.
[17:37] <Samuel> why hasn't he been drawn into being more of a
supporter during the Rituals that they've used?
[17:38] <KK> I think he did function as a Hunt Follower in the 5th
book. Think of him as like a Tyler in Freemasonry.
[17:38] <the_Bee> Tyler?
[17:39] <KK> The guy who guards the outer door.
[17:39] <the_Bee> ah
[17:39] * Debbie-VB is not very knowledable about freemasonry
[17:39] <KK> He is often a paid employee of the Lodge, and doesn't even
have to be a Mason, I don't think.
[17:39] * TheDeryni loved two crowns
[17:40] * TerryOBrien knows only about Freemasonry from what he's read,
particularly what Katherine has written
[17:40] <KK> As for Humphrey--who do you think cleans the temple?
[17:40] <jemler> haven't read that one. Liked Patricks Gargoyle
[17:40] <Debbie-VB> I've liked everything Katherine's written
[17:40] <KK> Plus, he helps Adam keep his life organized so that he has
the leisure time to crush crime.
[17:40] <the_Bee> I'm hoping to get hold of The Legacy of Lehr someday
[17:40] <TheDeryni> PG my favorite beside the deryni
[17:41] <KK> Oh, some good news. It looks like I'm getting a film
option on the first 3 Deryni books. My agent is tweaking the contract.
[17:41] <Kelric> oooh
[17:41] <Mistyck> awesome!
[17:41] <Samuel> cool!
[17:41] <Debbie-VB> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[17:41] <RainbowDragon> neat!
[17:41] <the_Bee> wowiw!!!!!!
[17:41] <Tika> neato
[17:41] <kirienne> wooohooo!!!!!!!!!!!
[17:41] <TheDeryni> cool cool cool
[17:41] <Mistyck> that's awesome news!
[17:42] <Bynw> sweeeeeeeet
[17:42] <TerryOBrien> So Humphry is Sinclair's Alfred to his Bruce
Wayne
[17:42] <Samuel> ok.... Please define "First three"
[17:42] <Mistyck> very very cool and how many years have we all been
waiting for???
[17:42] <Debbie-VB> It's about time katherine.
[17:42] <KK> This doesn't mean that a film will actually get made--but
it's the first step.
[17:42] <KK> dr, dc, hd.
[17:42] <TheCat> Wow! I actually saw it comin'! ;-)
[17:42] <jemler> alright, kk
[17:42] <Debbie-VB> Who's optioning them?
[17:42] <jemler> you must be psychic cat
[17:42] <KK> Yes, Terry! An exact analogy!
[17:43] <KK> Can't say right now.
[17:43] <kirienne> this is exciting news
[17:43] <TheCat> I dreamed it, jemler.
[17:43] <KK> But he has a track record, and there's money up front.
[17:43] <Mistyck> very cool
[17:43] <Kelric> nifty
[17:43] <the_Bee> sounds promising
[17:43] <Mistyck> when they have money up front they usually are
serious about it
[17:43] <Samuel> but, even Alfred was directly involved in some of
Batman's activites.
[17:43] <TerryOBrien> Somewhere, someplace, there should be a superhero
butler's convention. I can think of at least two more that qualify.
[17:43] <KK> It's hopeful, at least.
[17:43] <the_Bee> one film or a trilogy?
[17:44] <KK> Don't know.
[17:44] <Mistyck> KK: I can't make it to Darkover this year because
someone else had dibs on vacation time this year
[17:44] <jemler> get Peter Jackson to direct. He Did LOTR
[17:44] <KK> Bummer! We'll lmiss the two of you.
[17:44] <Debbie-VB> I'm moderatly excited by that news KK, and i will
definitly be going to see them If they do get made
[17:44] <Samuel> With books in hand to yell "that's not in the book!!"
[17:44] <jemler> "moderatelt excited", how quaint
[17:44] <Debbie-VB> PJ's optioned the Temeraire series
[17:44] <Mistyck> next year I promise both Ryan and I will be
there--you'll be shocked at how much he's grown since you last saw him!
[17:45] <KK> Well, better boogie. I pay by the minute now--or by the
lump of coal....
[17:45] <TerryOBrien> First step, then its getting the script written,
finding a production company, getting financing ...
[17:45] <the_Bee> glad you made it, KK
[17:45] <kirienne> yikes, KK
[17:45] <RainbowDragon> Thanks for stopping by!
[17:45] * Debbie-VB sends kk some extra coal
[17:45] <TerryOBrien> Glad you could make it, Katherine
[17:45] <Mistyck> take care KK, happy Thanksgiving
[17:45] <Kelric> I can't make it either because of an annoying
professor and her papers that you get the assignment for 2 weeks before
you can even do it.
[17:45] <TheDeryni> bye kk
[17:45] <kirienne> Thanks for coming, have a fun safe trip to Darkover
[17:45] <jemler> i never thought i'd say this, but i hope you get coal
in your stocking for christmas
[17:45] <KK> See you guys in a couple or three weeks. Happy Turkey
Day!
[17:45] <kirienne> hugggs KK
[17:45] <Debbie-VB> Sleep sweet katherine, and have a good con.
[17:45] <Bynw> see ya
[17:45] <jemler> by kk
[17:45] <TheCat> Goodn ight, KK.
[17:46] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves good night, and disappears in
a shower of green sparkles.
[17:46] * KK Quit
