Fanfic Progress

 So, I did write a whole chapter last night (and stayed up past midnight).

 The problem is that I need to be writing Chapter 8, and this is more like Chapter 14 or so. 

 There will probably be some changes to timeline and minor details, but the major part of the chapter - the emotions - is laid down.  Some of it clarifies what will have to happen in some of the chapters that precede it, so that's helpful, but I'd like to get Chapter 8 written to keep people reading it on ff.net happy.  (Speaking of which, there's been no reviews, so I hope people are taking a holiday fic hiatus.)

 Also working on a prompt for a friend who needs some distraction.  I'd made a good initial start, and then ran into the problem of too much coincidence making the plot stupid.  I found a better way to do it, but I need to push ahead on the story.

Sarah Palin Resigns

 Guess what I did during breakfast?  Listened to Sarah Palin's speech in which she resigns because she doesn't want to be a lame-duck governor.

 I think we can pretty safely assume she's not running for a higher office, because any potential opponent would be able to kill her with that.

 I can't say I'm going to miss her. 

 I think the subject has been pretty well covered everywhere else.
