That’s pretty much how I imagined Murph taking things, but I was hoping this could turn into a baton-passing thing with a different author picking up at each end. Thank you for reading my mind and writing exactly the sequel I’d hoped someone would write! (And the Yeti angle hadn’t crossed my mind – so it’s actually better than the sequel I’d hoped someone would write!)

That 2nd paragraph is great. I have to know – is Yeti a politically correct term these days? : )

Can anyone else tell that I have a lot of work-related anger issues?

“Yeti” is a preferred term, but “Abominable Snowmen” is offensive. The OHS (Organization of Hirsute Snowwomyn) asks people to remember that the days of oppressive patriarchy when only snowmen could leave enormous prints in the fresh silvery snows of Qomolangma (Everest) are long-gone, and that snowwomyn have feet, too. Also, please remember that “abominable” has a negative denotation and you should use the expression “Hirsute Snowpeople” or (better yet) “Yeti” in discourse.

P.S.
Asking a Yeti if he/she has a pet and does he “love him and feed him and call him George” is a good way to make her/him angry. While most Yeti Buddhists, I do know someone who got his car keyed by a Yeti after trying to be “funny.” Try to show some sensitivity and common sense, okay?

”…most Yeti are Buddhists….”
