I once had a scene where people were exchanging favorite Shakespeare quotes. Amazing what good memories they had.

Oh yeah, in my last one I had them singing hymns and such at the funeral...

Surrrre.

Hmm, we just got a meeting invite for ten minutes from now that say “to get together and sing kum-by-ya”. Uh... I’m not sure I don’t believe that.

He was a preemie. (10 weeks early). His first 18 months were pretty rough, but he’s been surprisingly healthy since then. I’m quite frankly surprised we haven’t had more episodes like this.

Hopefully it’ll just be a one-time thing and he won’t get it again. I know I always hated being sick.

I've decided not to post an excerpt just because I don't have any passages that are worth posting just yet, imo. Even the back o'the book blurb is rough.

Mine will have quite a bit of violence. I think it's best to be unflinching when terrorists are the subject of discussion. Romance-wise, it will be a sweet thing that develops over time. There will be no bodice ripping. Just a good snog at the end.

It’s a different building on post, and a little higher up on the food chain. My management doesn’t know yet -there’s more paperwork to be done- so don’t say anything to anyone yet. :)

Hope the cabin turns out to be less ransacked than you fear.

Hey we just got good news. The PA Nayber - super nice guy, salt of the earth - just reported that it appears the door is just popping open, probably due to the cold. It's not a break-in, so everything is ok. We're going to go up next weekend instead of tonight because next weekend is a long weekend and staying more than one nite makes it a worthwhile trip. :)

So.... I'm writin' tonite.

Do you want to go out to dinner tonight? We’re thinking Farelli’s....

Or would you like to drag the birthday dinner out a little longer ;~)

No bodice ripping in mine, either. Just a few more hints than I’d usually give.

But the murder is now going to be a bloody one instead of a poisoning, as it makes the whole framing thing work better and fits the murderer’s character (as it now exists) better. So there will be that.

Sure!

What’s Farelli’s, precious?

Well that's good news! Doesn't do anything for your stress level this week though.

Just talked to the Mrs. Luke has a sinus infection. So he's got drugs and they gave us stuff for the nebulizer (that's a blast from the past). He didn't ~say~ the word asthma. But this wasn't his regular doctor just the other one in the practice we don't usually see.

So, we're not doing the missions auction at all tonight. Thought about tag teaming, but I think we're just too tired.

So, I also plan to drink er...write this evening...
