Oh yeah. Glen's really out of his tree here. I'm getting less and less
impressed with him whenever I hear from him. I keep meaning to call him
and discuss a letter of his in which he suggested I replace the "gambling"
in Jonah (casting lots) with "Sanmey tlhob"--"asking the fates". Like that
isn't incredibly culturally bound. He's got to get on the ball.
