Too early (or too late) for most warriors to be around, so in a desperate attempt to get the book done today, I will be warring with myself on the blog until either I’m done or people show up in the war room. Starting NOW. war #1: 744 war #2: 472, plus a nap. oop. Lunch now, & that’s all for the blog wars, warriors in the room to support me…
