This talk about "The Golden Knight" and
"Mna Sipri Cilama" has inspired me to start
another original piece in gjâ-zym-byn -
a time travel plot which occurred to me
some little while ago, and which I decided
was a little too cliche'd to be worth developing
in English.  But it should give gzb a good
workout.

I started it Wednesday afternoon while waiting
at the doctor's office, and it's 6.5 handwritten
pages (about 1000 words) so far; definitely
the longest original story I've done in
gzb, though a couple of translations have
been longer.

I'm fixing to go nomail for a couple of weeks;
I have more preparation to do for the Esperanto
League convention in New York the weekend
after next, including a talk on Toki Pona,
which I haven't even started outlining.  During
the session on future convention planning
I'll suggest the possibility of combining
an ELNA convention with a future conlang
conference, in Berkley or elsewhere, and see
what people think of it.  (We already have
two candidate venues for 2007; combining
with the conlangs conference is something
we might do in 2008 or later.)
