I hate suspense

Suspense is what I am in as I am writing the last bits before the boom drops on Yanek.  Actually I kind of already dropped the boom on him in the last couple hundred words as I made it impossible for him to avoid disappointing the hyoung Duke. I feel like a bad person.

Now I am going to take a bath and take the dog somewhere before it warms up too much and she turns into a wimp. Let's see if I remain determined to force her to walk in the Pogonip, where I have not been for over a year because she refuses to go there (why? ghosts of coyotes? she used to love it there)
