I'll be home tomorrow and am very much looking forward to getting back to writing. I've been surprised by how much I missed it. I'd also like to take this time to thank all of the committed readers of Beth [they probably should be committed ;-)]. I've been surprised by the support, and I greatly appreciate it.

I have uploaded Chapter 206 and it will be posted on the evening of the 4th. A lot of important stuff had to happen here, so the chapter is very long.

I'll shortly be departing on some work-supported international travel, so may have little time to continue writing for a while. The timing of the end of the trip is currently uncertain, as some later parts depend upon how earlier parts go. I will be able to, at least, begin Chapter 207 before I depart, but there's no certainty that I can post it anytime in the next 10-14 days. However, there is at least some chance I will find myself with time on my hands, so we will have to see.

An unrelated take-home message is keep your passport up-to-date. I've always done so, despite that my international-travel heyday is well back in my rearview mirror.

I've been seeing this problem a lot of late, here on SOL and in other situations. Since the two words are spoken the same, they are confusing. However, simply thinking about what one is intending should clear that confusion.

Whose -- possessive pronoun (Whose book is that?)
Who's -- a contraction of "who is" (Who's going to the store?)

During my usual shortly-after-posting review/editing of the latest chapter, I discovered that I had accidentally excised an important part (in the lunch scene at the outside tables) of it without realizing it. I'm not sure how, but an entire chunk of the chapter was missing. Fortunately, I found an earlier version of it in one of my backups, so have just recreated the bit and have queued the chapter for updating.

I've finally completed and posted Chapter 196, a chapter greatly delayed by a combo of heavy work days and a lingering illness that left me with a muzzy mind. I'm feeling considerably better today so I hope that I'll get back on my projected every-four-days posting schedule.
