A bit of an early post (sorry, Val, I didn't want to step on your posting schedule!) but my computer is acting up, a lot. Battery/charging issues all night long that have quieted down for the most part. I'm just afraid it might die and leave me stranded and unable to post until my new laptop arrives on Wednesday, so you all get the new chapter now, instead of tomorrow.
(Goes back to furiously saving everything to an external drive...)
