Regarding CoL49. Chapter 5.

[Tim Strzechowski]

I say we wait until Monday.  I've noticed that lister participation goes
down a bit on the weekends --- for good reason: we all have lives, after

posts we can reassess our pacing toward finishing the novel.  That's my
vote, for what it's worth . . .
