Congrats on your third chapter! I'm sure making the revisions won't be too big a pain. At least you realized you needed to make them at all.

That sounds fun - you even rubbed The Man the wrong way! Cool!

Congratulations on knocking that chapter out; I'm impressed!

Shalom, y'all!

I may have rubbed The Man the wrong way, but after we drove off the base, Martin turned to me and joked, "Man, we could be on our way to Guantanamo right now!"

Three chapters down; two to go. Must. Stay. Focused!

You can do it! Keep up the great work!

Shalom, y'all!
