	Laughter's coping skills never fail to amaze me.  I intend on 
learning a thing or two from this charming girl.

	The days events seem to have been arranged by a drunk comedian.  
A call to Benedict about missing cousins some how became a posse led by 
Fiona, powered by Tianen, and witnessed by Finndo, who still seems to be 
attracting vermin.  Daimen's future son was rescued (as Ulysses fortold 
it to be) and warming entirely to his role as prophet he announced to 
Laughter, with somewhat less style than Gabriel, I'm sure, that she was 
to bear a daughter and that her name was to be Aster.  I would have 
thought my cousin Ulysses the least likely to drive a woman into treeing 
herself, but apparently my opinion of him lacks depth.  And for once in 
my relations with Ulysses I have witnessed the man looking less than 
jovial.  Although, from the sound of it, his future is less than amusing.

	Personally, I find the antics of my cousins terribly amusing and 
I hope to find joy in the practice for many years to come.  Provided 
Brand doesn't get down to serious business and wipe us from the face of 
reality.
