There’s a…like a center of gravity. A vortex, but that’s not the word. Not counterweight, either. Where you’re the person or thing which causes other things to be drawn to it, so change can be affected. There’s a word for that. I will send a copy of THE PRETENDER’S CROWN to whoever can come up with the word I’m looking for. *Argh*. *shakes brain in frustration* eta: I think got closest to what I’m after first, with ‘fulcrum’. A fulcrum point from which everything else swings. I think that’s ……
I’ve had a very productive day, so long as you don’t count getting dressed in proper clothes an essential part of a productive day.

what i have learned
I have learned that the all-day chat structure isn’t going to work for /me/, so week-after-next I will open a chat room at 9pm GMT/4pm EDT/1pm PDT and run it for about 90 minutes before sluffing off to bed.
