So in sum

[farla]

By my calculations, I've chewed through more than the original estimate, at least, even if I have been pretty lazy. But also by my estimate, there's still 130+ to go and I'm still as far back as page 27 (Sapphire is 21...one way or another that one must be done). I have pissed off three people, but only one had the consideration to do so before I had worked through most of their writing. On the brighter side, the newest did get mad just before I had to deal with something mildly irksome of theirs, so that's a win.
