[@MK Blitzen][@Aalakrys]well said. The storyline I was heading along in my AU post is my preferred theme. But I really like where our primary focus is heading. I could jump back into it in the future.  I use work as an excuse, but I am covering the same class for two weeks. I get a 40 minute prep every day and three days per week, an extra 30 minutes while the kids are at recess. The other two days, I have to supervise them at recess so they don't kill each other. One day, I wrote 1500 words during one of those prep periods. 

On a side note, my gaming PC shit the bed. Something got fried in mid November during a power outage/surge. I found out the motherboard was the victim. I bought an Nvidia 3060 Ti GCU, so now I will spend my money on computer parts to build a new machine.
