Still alive.

Chapters Fifteen and Sixteen submitted to my editor. Fifteen is a huge, unwieldy beast. Sixteen covers a lot of ground and may be missing a scene. Or have one too many scenes. We will see what My Editor says.

Still working on the summary of my trip.  I expect it will go up... after fifteen and sixteen, since I want to have Megan help me polish it, as well.  Long-form humorous essay may go in my portfolio, after all.

I am sore from scrubbing the nicotine stains off vertical blinds for the better part of an hour. 

One minute to midnight.  Must post now and seize the moment.
