I'm posting yet another Cast for the long-running 'Lexi Redux.'

For those who want to peek ahead a bit, there are a couple of dozen new characters. Care to guess what happens next?

My internet is down. It is so 1990s to have to go to the library to signon. The ever-helpful cable company says it MIGHT be fixed in a couple of hours or so... I was in the DP department of several companies. That time stamp means an hour to a week.

I'll try to get my Saturday update out on time, but... you never know.

Meantime, I'm posting a new re-re-revised Cast list with some spoilers.

... I need the name for a foundation that benefits Native People in North America. But it's gotta have a catchy Acronym. So send me your suggestions.... Oh, yeah. It's gotta be something that isn't already in use. So far, the best I've come up with is NANCY; the North American Native Capitalization for Youth.

WHEW! That's a load off my mind. See, I get sidetracked into meaningless side issues. The fact that THIS is on my mind should tell you something.

I started off today with good intentions. I'd take care of my medical issues, then finish off a chapter or two of 'Lexi Redux.' But first I'd check on SOL, 'cause I published a new chapter this a.m. And you can never tell. Well the path I chose took a side trip.

I read a review by pj. Then one thing led to another.

I found myself reading 'Deputy Porter' by carniegirl. About half way thru Chapter 1, I was hooked. It's sorta a Sam Spade female version, but with the occaisional sex interlude that Dashiell Hammett couldn't put in his novels.

It's really good.

It was posted in 2012, and I'm sure I've read it before, but just forgot all about it. So I started binge reading about Deputy Porter. I didn't get finished. I mean, it's only about 500,000 words and 256 chapters. There's a sequel.

So I didn't get around to that chapter of Lexi's adventures. I WILL get to it tomorrow, so my editor can relax. He's gently nudging me to get more stuff written. I really have some discipline, honest I do.

Please contact me with updates. I want to find out what happens next!
