On a more typical note, Watson came by a few days ago asking me to name the wildlife here. They aren't finding the names the D'ni used for a lot of the animals. I don't think he really appreciated "Shroomie" and "Flappers". Anyway, I named the birds here "Buggaros". I think some part of that is D'ni for big - that's what Nick said at least. Big bug. Wonder how they'll like that?

Sonya seems to like it down here. In fact, it looks as though she'll be staying for a while - longer than she had thought - and may be working for the DRC in a similar role as Simpson. Fine with me. Another inside scoop never hurts.

The pub is looking good. Very good. DRC has no idea the Books were ever there (good work Nick) and it looks as though they are going to let me have it. I'd love to turn it into something to show off my favorite trophies. Wouldn't be bad to open it up for others as well. Have to think about that more.
Can't get to a game right now and it's killing me. Too much going on down here. But, I will be there for the playoffs. Talked to Travis today and we're going, wherever it is, although at this point I'm planning on Boston.

12.31.03 - It has been quite a year, especially recently. I have to say I never planned things to go this way, although looking back it may be for the best. Watson has left. Somewhere. Laxman and Kodama seem to be running things which, for the moment, is definitely good. At least they are moving somewhere. Though I may not always agree with them, I like their drive. I'm thinking about giving it a little more time and seeing if I can't get my pub back.
I've been keeping quiet lately, on purpose, letting things run their course. I may have become a little to aggressive and I don't think I was helping myself. We'll see if I can't do things better this year.

Negilahn seems to be task one. The creature or thing, whatever it is there, eating everything else. I had no intention of hunting anymore down here and the first thing the DRC asks me to do is exactly that. Odd, but what can I do? I'm not going to turn down a job like this.

Apparently Nick has someone who is interested in helping out with Negilahn but he can't seem to remember the person's name. Not sure what's happening with the poor boy but he seems distracted... ever since I've come down. I only hope it's not a woman or something. We don't need that.
