Updates
The job in Colorado is no longer for me. We're just having boxes of books collected, crated and shipped. Too bad; it was going to be up in the Rockies, deeper in than I've ever been.
A job in Los Gatos, CA is looking more real, as is. potential job in Sacramento. On the latter one, I'm wondering if it's a possible job we were approached about at the beginning of February but never got the information we needed to work up a price. Guess we'll find out.

One more positive about changes made is they bring Everett and Brendan closer together as friends. Brendan sees his aunt's house as a prison, now, and being at Everett's place is like a respite from that. He's even given a room where he can continue fixing things to sell.
Going by the page count on the Word doc, I only have 45 more pages left, and three more chapters. They're going to be expanded, because some important things happen here and I don't want it rushed. That'll put me up over 145K but the book will be as long as it must be to tell the story.
