I started the first few lessons of toki pona last night and 
this morning, from tokipona.net. I'm not positive that these 
lessons are "official," and I need to figure out where I 
want to get information from, but they were easy to find and 
they were free, so I figured it couldn't hurt too much.

I still need to order the book, but life has been very 
chaotic. I'm still excited to learn, for the exercise and 
expansion of thought. Hopefully life will be more kind with 
free time and energy. If not, I'll continue in the margins 
and see how far I can get.
