FOR TOMORROW: take a break!

Sorry guys! Comcast managed to screw up internet for my whole building. We're now draped with orange wires that are supposed to "fix" the problem, but they haven't given us any idea as to how long before we stop looking like a construction zone. God I hate Comcast.

We should be almost caught up now. If anyone has fallen behind, don't worry, most of the new three books are one chapter per day so you should have plenty of time. :)
