OK, sorry I've been absent for several days. I'm getting ready to move and as you can imagine, shit is pretty crazy around here. Now, fyi, I decided to switch things around. This is the new chapter 25. The old chapter 25 is now chapter 26 and then we've got chapter 27 coming up in just a minute. Thanks for hanging in!
