                        I would have liked to keep this one quiet for a little while, but 
                        because of upcoming conventions and of course the need to keep my 
                        publishers informed, it seems to me unfair to withhold the news.  I have 
                        been diagnosed with a very rare form of early<BR /><DIV>
                        onset Alzheimer's,</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.paulkidby.com/news/index.html">
                        We are taking it fairly   philosophically down here and possibly with a 
                        mild optimism.  For now work   is continuing on the completion of <EM>Nation</EM>                        and the basic notes are already   being laid down for <EM>Unseen Academicals</EM>. 
                        All other things being equal, I<BR /><DIV>
                        expect to meet most current and, as far
                        as possible, future commitments but   will discuss things with the various 
                        organisers.  Frankly, I would prefer it   if people kept things cheerful, 
                        because I think there's time for at least a   few more books yet </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.paulkidby.com/news/index.html">
                        PS  I would just like to draw   attention to everyone reading the above 
                        that this should
be interpreted as   'I am not dead'.  I will, of course, 
                        be dead at some future point, as
will   everybody else.  For me, this 
                        maybe further off than you think</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9BA10D4C-66F2-431F-BAB8-BA78D9BCA2E8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
