I hope so. That there's some larger pattern. (I've always believed so - how do we get the stars above us, doing what they do, if there isn't some pattern to the world? But where it comes from, I've no idea.)

On the crash - do you have any advice? Mum warned me the same, but all she suggested was taking time off, if I could, and that's clearly a problem. (And even the holidays, I'll have YPL meetings, and those are going to be worse than the investigation, in some ways, as I'll have to manage Stint.)
