Mmm... I like this. I'm really looking forward to the days I have
before me. Looking at amman iar and thinking: "Hmm... In 34 years,
when I'm 56, maybe Rinya has become stable too". :)
No real point with this mail. I just found it a reassuring feeling
that whatever happens in my life, I can always conlang. And boy
will I have conlanged a lot when I'm 56! I look back at what I've
learned about languages in the past two years, and I get this warm
feeling inside me when I think about what I will know then.
Daniel, feeling unusually happy.
