The Very Best Christmas Present EverPosted by Robert Jordan on December 22nd, 2006 in the Robert Jordan’s Blog category

This is a very short post, I’m afraid. I know it’s been awhile since I posted last, but various things kept getting in the way. Still, here goes, with the best Christmas present I’ve ever received. Something I had to share without any delay.

As you all no doubt know by now, the marker for amyloids is something called Lambda Light Chains, which are found in the blood. The normal range is between 1 and 3. Five months ago, I was at 75. Four months ago, that had gone up to 96. The higher the LLC number, the worse for you. So I wasn’t doing so hot.

This morning the Mayo gave me my most recent LLC number. 3.14!!!! No, that isn’t a typo. 3.14!!! I’m on the brink of normal. Something I never thought I’d say about myself in any regard, frankly. I’ve got Liston the ropes, guys, and I really believe that your prayers and well-wishes have helped put him there. Now I just have to put him on the canvas. This isn’t a cure, and I’m not even sure whether it will count as remission, but it means I’m still on my feet and will be for a while yet. 3.14! Hot damn!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everybody.

I’ll talk to you again after the 1st.

Harry Potter author JK Rowling has updated her diary with news that her favorite book in the series is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and what better way to end.

She also says:

Some of you have expressed a (much more muted!) mixture of happiness and sadness at the prospect of the last book being published, and that has meant more than I can tell you. If it comes as any consolation, I think that there will be plenty to continue arguing and speculating about, even after Deathly Hallows comes out. So if you’re not yet ready to quit the message boards, do not despair...

Ms. Rowling has also added some thoughts to her rumors section and answers two frequently asked questions.

Thanks Helena.

Sue Monk KiddDear Students,

It is an exceptionally nice honor to have you reading my novel in your Modern American Literature class! I’m extremely impressed with your weblog, which I’ve been following. What fun for the author to listen in on your discussions and see the wonderful and provocative artistic interpretations that you’ve created. The experience has opened my eyes to new ideas about my own work!

Listen to an Expert Voice• who learns in depth ...

The AssignmentThink back on all the things you have learned so far this semester and create (not copy) four problems that are representative of what you have learned. Provide annotated solutions to the problems; they should be annotated well enough for an interested learner to understand and learn from you. Your problems should demonstrate the upper limit of your understanding of the concepts.
