Chapter 28 will go out to my final proofreader today or tomorrow. It will be shorter than the normal four pages in SOL. It will still be about 36 pages in MS Word. Than might translate to 2 and a half pages once the submission wizard has its way with the text file.
The problem with my prostate has been discovered. It is not cancer, but I still have to have it removed. That will happen the first week of February, so there will most likely be delays before the normal, four pages of Code Monkey are posted monthly. I'll keep everyone updated.
I want to thank all the people who've sent best wishes. Your emails mean a lot to me. Continue to enjoy good reads wherever you can find them.
