Happy New Year's, everybody!

And to you, J.R., and to everyone else.

From this pleasantry, do I deduce that you've found a solution to The Dilemma? Jasmine Tea perhaps?         --GK--

It's not quite worked out but I wrote out another chapter and it was much longer and much more interesting than the last ones. There's improvement. (It was a cheerful herbal flavor named Orange Zest and English Teatime!)

I like your devil-may-care attitude, plus your knowledge of tea is impressive. Good luck with the story.               --G--
