Yes, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? But I’m sticking to my guns on the ‘finishing this story if it kills me’ promise. I really, truly wanted to have this out to you guys by Christmas, but RL threw a wrench into that deal. Simply too much going on. My job is becoming more and more demanding, as is my son (try telling a 2 year old that you don’t want to wrestle. Yet again) so writing’s taken a back seat to pretty much anything. It might give you a great big happy to know, though, that the next two chapters are already written (have been for over a year now); they’ve been tweaked to match what I’ve just written, and they just need to be beta’d (kudos to Christie for nagging me non-stop :D )
And, of course, please review to let me know if you’re still interested, and if you even remember me...

Toldja the next few chapters would be coming along quicker! We’re heading into the final stretch of the story, with another 2 or 3 chapters after this one. Thanks for all the encouraging reviews for the previous chapter--don’t forget to review this one, too!

This is the last chapter I’ve got in reserve. The next one is mostly written, and I’m hoping I can get it finished asap... Thanks for the lovely reviews; keep ‘em coming!
