Chapter 22 posted

Yup. Two chapters in less than a week. I want to be finished damned soon. And I will be: there's one chapter to go, though I may split off the last little bit and call it a chapter so as to have an even two dozen chapters. And the last little bit needs some reconstructing for various reasons so it may take a little longer.

On other fronts: it seems that my father's situation is common for the stage of radiation therapy he's in, and my son, who seems him much more than I do, says that he makes sense when you can hear what he says. But he's lucky to get 500 calories down him in a day (he had a little extra when he started having trouble, but that was some months ago).

And Gloria is making a little more sense again, too.

But I'm still exhausted, and this weekend is humongous -- Saturday: Monterey water treatment plant in the morning, Chinese New Year Parade at night: Sunday: oh please catch up with laundry and dishes, and I forget what all else. And the apple tree has not been pruned yet, nor the almond trees, and the apple tree always sorely needs it because we've never gotten a handle on the watersprouts.

And I have a review to wqrite and where did I put the damned book?
