>> Hello Tini, Kim and Charles, and everyone!
>> Thank you for your birthday messages below...Very nice to receive

>> birthdays...so a happy birthday to all of you too, even though it
>> is not your birthday today ;-)
>>
>> I am glad to know you are still using DanceWriting, Tini!
>>
>> And thanks for the message about the little article in the La Jolla
>> Light, Kim...I think the student writer did a good job, you are
>> right about that and I was impressed...I bet she will be a future
>> journalist...Her name is Spreeha...It is an Indian name (from
>> India)...and I enjoyed being interviewed for the article...there is
>> another version of the same article that was printed in the
>> newspaper itself, and that included one page from Adam Frost's "Why
>> SignWriting" document on the web, so I will be scanning in that
>> printed article later, to share with you...
>>
>> I am working on a new textbook, to document the International
>> SignWriting Alphabet. This time I am just naming the book:
>>
>> SignWriting
>>
>> with a subtitle that says:
>>
>> Sign Languages Are Written Languages!
>>
>> And then I am going to write it in five parts:
>>
>> Part 1: SignWriting Basics
>> a short summary of basic symbols that you all know
>>
>> Part 2: Handshapes
>> all 200 handshapes, shown with photos of Adam Frost's hands, in 6
>> palm facings, plus samples of signs that use the handshapes..thank
>> you Adam for the wonderful photos and animated GIFs!
>>
>> Part 3: Movement Symbols
>> every detail of writing movement I can find from volumes of writing
>> around the world
>>
>> Part 4: Face, Head and Body
>> same kind of detail but on Facial Expressions, Head Movement and
>> the torso and limbs...even showing how to write squatting down,
>> which exists in a South Pacific Sign Language...
>>
>> Part 5: Sign Language Literature
>> teaching from beginning to end, how to write sentences and
>> documents and literature in SignWriting, and providing lots of
>> reading material
>>
>> Part 1 above is nothing new to any of you...it is just a quick
>> summary of basic symbols for people who are beginners and need an
>> introduction before referring to the other more advanced parts of
>> the book...
>>
>> I plan to publish these as five separate manuals, and then also put
>> them together into one large volume...
>>
>> This will take time of course, but well worth it...
>>
>> Thanks for all your participation all these years! It is because of
>> your writing that the above book is possible -
>>
>> I am going out with my parents today...I am lucky to have them with
>> me -
