Yey for the progress/conclusion at work, I know how it feel (occasionally, when I actually manage to wrap something up :P). On to the new victories. Of course the lung cancer is not something that makes anyone leap with joy, but if people didn't write about it or couldn't find the info, the world would be a much darker place. I've seen this pearl of a video on Dutch TV recently by an artist called Stromae and though the music is really not my cookie, I call this art nevertheless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aJw4chksqM So yeah, your work is important, in case you ever feel just like a pebble in a mosaic! :)
Oh, I totally hear you on the next_gen story! I'm currently very busy hating my own (more so because it has a erm, recipient, I really want to make happy and I'm failing miserably) and I'm busy hating the fact that I can't continue it, because the Dutch in-laws are in the house and my evenings aren't really my own. I can honestly remember only liking 2 stories of my own the way they were posted and it usually takes a while for me to take liking to them - most of the time I'm just like, squealing numbly - "OMG!!! What am I doing?! No one with an IQ larger than a shoe-size can possibly like this!" - or some such. But, you know, you're good, you've got people's comments and kudos to prove it, so honestly - how bad can any story written by you be?! :) I'm definitely going to read it!
Good for your little one loving your childhood heroes, I wish my two tiny demons did, but I believe they think me a fossil with my preference for reading over electronic devices (and even when I'm using and electronic device, it's usually for reading, LOL!)
I think if your daughter grows up like a mini-you, she would have done well for herself! :)
