red thread

I hope that I am not putting you through too much trouble. You have all been a great help already. It has only been through the cleansing ritual, which I have done repeatedly, that I have been able to concentrate and focus, allowing me to retain some semblance of order with events in my mind. Even ...

It's Friday. At least I thought it was Friday till you brought it up. Am I wrong?

Of course I will send you a PM with the information you requested as soon as I feel comfortable allowing myself go back there, to Brooklyn. This most recent translation has exhausted me. To answer your question about translating: when I am working on your translation I am back in Brooklyn in 1995 ...

I wanted to update you again. I have been working on the code when I have felt able to. I have translated most of the text save for a small section. In addition to the blurring of my vision that I was having, this untranslated section was making me feel physically ill. I felt as if my vision were ...

I felt up to having a crack at the second section today. I am afraid I came up with following sentences several characters into the block which I can add to the first section: "a hermetically sealed vessel large enough for subject no matter current pose, buried two-plus feet deep, quicksilver ...

I see your point. I am sorry I startled you by bluntly putting out the cypher text like that. To be honest, when I logged on I was certain this entire thread would not be here.

I have started work decoding the cypher. The number block code appears to correspond the list of locations in the format line number-word number-letter number. Using a Vigenere cypher system with the keyword: Zagrodno I was able to decipher the first block of numbers. It reads: "a hermetically ...

This code intrigues me greatly. I am so glad that you translated the newspaper. As much as I would like to tackle learning another Indo-European language I am afraid I have the jitters trying another translation after what happened to me the last time. I hope it is still today and not some other day ...

I took Fly_Mulder's advice and I feel more clearheaded then I have in a while. Part of my mind is still telling me that the book arrived today. However, whereas before I felt my mind slide away from thinking further, today I am better able to focus and it is clear to me that I must have had the book ...

The book? You know about the book already? It just arrived today. It is not what I expected. You also mention salt. I am out of salt and will have to pick up a box at the corner store. That is funny my friend Marcus Gavius was just telling me how had returned from a trip to Cyrene to obtain sal ...
