next stop, the early middle ages

[redbird]

It took three days, but Sam has sent an okay on me doing the chapter that we're shorthanding as feudalism, which is essentially Europe 500-1200 CE. With that okay, he asked when I can finish it by. I've offered a deadline I know I can meet without taking work with me to Montreal, mostly because I don't want to schlep a laptop on the train and wouldn't be able to do research there even if I did. My secret-from-them hope is to turn it in before I leave, but I have other things to get done this week, some of which can't be postponed, and I'm doing my best not to be stampeded by their having let three days slide past.

Of course, most of what I've done this afternoon is nethack and cryptic puzzles, so I may as well start on this.
