As to the 76,000 visits to this blog, we received the most recent one thousand in a period of fourteen days, which is faster than usual. That is because there is currently a concerted effort to learn the Udugi language, on the part of some group. I would like to believe that they were Cherokee (Tsalagi) people, but I think it more likely that they are members of a three-letter intelligence agency. That's fine. We have no secrets here, and I'll help anyone to learn it, if they want help. It is a beautiful and expressive language. Its only drawback is that it lacks words for many technical things that are part of modern life.
I have a lot of projects happening right now, so I'm spread rather thin between and among them. I am pointing the text of Shem-Tob's Hebrew Matthew (I have published Chapter Five without the pointing, and will probably have the pointed version available within a month). I'll be continuing the Commentary on the Teaching of Rabbi Yeshua, Will soon publish a new article in the Synoptica series (it will be Synoptica XXVI), this time on Hebrew Matthew and the Gospel of Thomas. Along with all this, I'll try, as time permits, to continue my memoir series, Journal of a Naked Poet (Part V is next). Of course, there will be poetry and photography as usual.
In the background, Sandy and I are very busy right now, so all of these projects will take some time.
Spring is coming, here on the west coast of mid-Florida. I intend to take some time to enjoy that, too.
As always, thanks to all of you for your continued interest and enthusiasm. Wadó. ꮹꮩ.
