Cold, soon-to-be-snowy Monday. Not a lot of snow expected. Just enough to let us know it's still winter.

ENDGAME progress: still on Ch 8, but did manage about 2200 words over two days. Some of those may get tossed tonight, but that's ok since the chapter's starting to run a little long--I get edgy when they go beyond 21-22 manuscript pages. 17-18 is the optimum, for no other reason than the fact that a first reader criticized the CODE first draft for having overlong chapters. Not even sure anymore that it was a valid criticism, yet it still stuck with me.

My guitar teacher's son was sick, so no lesson this evening. Gives me more time to practice B-minor and other fun chords. At this point, I can muddle through Neil Young's "Down By The River", although things do ball up when I try to sing along with my own playing. Amazing how something that looks so easy can be so difficult.
