another tick in the odometer

1565 tonight; the previous two days have been 1415 and 1885. I may not get to write this weekend -- short-notice trip to Minneapolis -- so I'm letting myself charge ahead a bit, building up a surplus. I can miss two days and still be on schedule.

I would have stopped at 1259, but that put me just short of 40K. And we all know how I respond to seeing landmarks so very, very close.

LBR tally: We all know what happens when rhetoric fails.
Authorial sadism: Failing. Lots. And not getting your final chance to speak.
