   Today I have come down with a cold and my brother James,   
   who also has bipolar disorder though his symptoms/cycles   
   are different from mine (which I describe on my   
   Salmon on the Thorns webpage), says he has had   
   a sore throat for a few days.   
      
   So anyway I hope that this is the Chill of Math, described   
   in the Welsh Mabinogion, which Gwydion and his brother   
   Gilfaethwy experienced at the end of three years of   
   being transformed into animals (a different animal   
   each year) by Math.   
      
   From that I intuit that Gwydion had three years of   
   low/working years, like Jesus, and not the more   
   common seven years. I expected to go 29 years   
   (the common seven plus two 11 year sunspot   
   cycles) but am now at a little more than 30, which   
   I think is due to the latest sunspot cycle lasting   
   longer than the average 11 years. But I hope   
   that they will end shortly and that there might be   
   the blessings of Arianrhod rather than the prison   
   of Arianrhod.   
      
   (Also after midnight it will be the last Friday in February,   
   which is International Stand Up to Bullying Day.)
