"Finished" with Chapter 8/Part 1

Whew! Those last few chapters were a slog and it feels like a relief to get to this point. I don't think I'm actually finished, but I've worked all the way through it like I usually do. I guess I could just keep going and not look back, but the smart thing would be to give it a read through and tidy up whatever problems I discover then. Tomorrow will be a good day for that because tonight is basketball, so I don't expect to be able to do good creative work. In any case, I'm planning to be kicking butt on Part 2 before Monday.
