    Velociraptors don't jog, they pursue.

    Is my memory sadly correct that he passed away?

    I don't think so. He was having some difficulties as I recall that may
    have cut into his time & energy to post here.

    Yes, loved the series.  Real Space Opera.

    Ryk Spoor is hanging out on facebook when he is not super busy.

    Good. Guess I am glad in this particular case,
    that my memory was wrong.

    So 6 months ago I had cochlear implant surgery, and
    at the 6th month checkup with the audiologist Dr.
    (My understanding is better, but still NOT good)
    I mentioned I'd gotten summoned to jury duty,
    and told them that I was 7- years old, my hearing
    was very poor, and I frequently misunderstood
    what people said. I was still required to
    stand by. The audiologist said if it happens
    again, let her know, she would be happy to write
    a note scratching my obligation.
