I'm in the locker room at halftime in the league championship final, so have made good progress on Ch. 82 despite work, again, chewing up a lot of my time. I cannot help but grudge the extra work, but I won't mind the resulting pay check. I'll probably get this chapter posted on or shortly after the weekend and might get Ch. 83 posted before next weekend. At least, that's my current plan. However, after that, a bunch of work travel will keep me away from Beth's universe for a week or ten days. It's funny. Prior to starting down Beth's path, I always loved all the time I spent traveling for work. In fact, it was one of the main attractions of my position. Then I got used to having little travel and, for nearly half a year, little in the way of OT on the job. I began begrudging the extensive OT and work travel once I started to write these stories. Them's the breaks.
