Challenging week, but edging toward a feeling of triumph. I am very happy the weekend approacheth on so many levels.
One level, of course, if sinking my writerly fangs for a prolonged time into Before the Blood. There's just something about writing fiction that relaxes one part of my brain and stimulates another that is needed and necessary for me.
But first - I must get past an extremely busy Friday. I wrote these same words last week, and I don't even recalll why This Friday has stepped up the game, but I'm taking heart. Next week, I probably won't remember why either.
Okay, here we go.

Plainfield Police K-9 Memorial to be created on site of former agility training field
Bobby Bostanche of Plainfield, a former police officer and handler for two two police dogs, recalled how valuable those dogs are to the force.
“I think we captured 15 burglars – actually captured – and 15 rapists,” Bostanche said. “And we handled hundreds of misdemeanor and felony calls. I did a lot of building searches and a couple of riots – not in Plainfield. … You go out risking everything and these dogs protect us.”

Until Michalene Korosa retired three years ago from her job as president and CEO for Via Christi Hospitals and Outpatient Centers in Kansas, she and her polka musician husband Eddie Korosa maintained a long-distance relationship. When she could, Michalene attended playing events on the dance floor, not behind the drum.
That changed in October 2014, when Eddie needed someone to fill in.
