I'll check those sources, see what I can come up with for everyone's
entertainment.  Haven't found a way to scan it in yet, if Macsen's not
online, I'll type a page or so at a time.

By the way, have you ever read the Mabinogi tetralogy by Evangeline Walton?
It's very good, is long out of print, can occasionally be found in used
bookstores.  I've got all of them, am hanging on for dear life <mine, mine,
mine!>.  Titles are, in order, The Prince of Annwn, The Children of Llyr,
The Song of Rhiannon, and The Island of the Mighty.

I must say, I enjoy your "letters" to MR.  Highly entertaining.  Oh, and my
mom hasn't gotten back to me with the info on Lak yet.  I'll bug her about
it...she's been preoccupied by my sister's problems with a skinflint ex
(child support, y'know, and the jerk's a lawyer, so he knows how to yank
the chain without getting thrown in jail), but I'll get the scoop on it,
I'm as curious as you are.
