Note: Back in 2003, I wrote a story, Memories of a Woman in White, in which Blair learns the identity of his father. Over the years, I've been asked many times how Blair and his father finally meet. It happened a few months ago on Facebook.

I bet. Anything I can do to help?
Blair Sandburg at 12:28 p.m. Saturday February 7
It'd help if I knew whether he was a mass murderer or something.
Jim Ellison at 12:29 p.m. Saturday February 7

You've got enough snow this year for XCountry?

Naomi hasn't talked about you at all.
Jeremy Moss at 12:17 p.m. Saturday February 7
But you obviously know who I am.
Blair Sandburg at 12:18 p.m. Saturday February 7
Yes.
Jeremy Moss at 12:19 p.m. Saturday February 7
Maybe we should take this off Facebook.

Oh shit. Naomi wouldn't have him FRIENDED, would she?
Jim Ellison at 11:40 a.m. Saturday February 7
Why the hell not? She's Naomi.

Naomi Sandburg at 10:10 a.m. Saturday February 7
Just regular whole wheat, with sage.
Jeremy Moss at 10:47 a.m. Saturday February 7
Yum! I should do that.
Naomi Sandburg at 11:23 a.m. Saturday February 7
Making bread is so therapeutic.

Oh, and Blair's business? Well, I'm assuming this piece is following the timeline of my story Chiefly and its sequels, in which Blair is running a camp/school/community/whatever for sentinels and other highly sensitive people and their families.
