Saturday Updates

Good morning Stroock's Books faithful and Shabbat Shalom. 

We had quite the deluge of rain yesterday. That really ought to take care of the state's lingering reservoir issues. 

Just a fantastic week at the gym: weights, cardio, strength, cardio, weights, cardio, strength...look at us, approaching midmonth and we still haven't changed up this routine. Mowing the lawn may be our workout today. 

The Things. 

We spent all week working on the World War 1990: Thatcher's War Battle of Derry chapter and kinda, sorta have a rough draft. We're not 100 percent pleased with what we've written. World War 1990: Thatcher's War is, Jesus, 65,000 words. 

The reading project is going fine, and we are further understanding the IRA and how it operates. We decided that IRA chief Martin McGuiness and Sinn Fein head Gerry Adams must needs be in the novel. Reminder: for every solution, the Irish will find a problem. 

We made absolutely no progress whatsoever on a 5th nuke novel. At this point we're seriously considering scrapping the idea. Should we consider writing something else this summer? The grognard will want us to move right on to World War 1990: Battle of the GIUK Gap. He's clever that way. Like the Jews.
