I thought I'd have time over the weekend to write, but I was dragged out to a winter festival on Saturday, as well as the Superbowl on Sunday night, and didn't have a chance to write anything worthwhile.

  I promise an extra long chapter on Friday.

  Stolen novel; please report.

  While you wait, why don't you watch this very funny ventriloquist /comedian?

  QUICK WARNING: the clip is about an hour and a half long.
