Computer problems, and now proposal deadlines, have kept me away. Finster updates should be back soon.

Somebody, I don't know who, has laid three eggs (two with soft shells) in the Finsterium. Lots of calcium everywhere! Wish I could get that problem to go away.

One other bit of big news: Bruce thinks Peanut is trying to imitate human words! Bruce gets close to Peanut and repeats phrases to him. Peanut pays close attention, and makes different kinds of noises than the usual squeaking or kissy noises. That's the first step!
