SotRV: Waffling on Plot Points

I've only managed to add a few paragraphs to Shadow of the Red Vixen. Aside from the madness of getting the kids ready for school, I've finally realized I'm stuck on an upcoming plot point.

( Cut for spoilers )

Quote o' the Day

"What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.
"Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors. The library connects us with the insights and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds there ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all of our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contributions to the collective knowledge of the human species."

-Cosmos, Episode 11, "The Persistence of Memory"

Occasionally I have GOOD luck.

About fifteen years ago Choice Hotels, the company I used to work for until I sabotaged myself, went public with an IPO. In celebration, they gave everyone, including peons like me, about six shares of stock. They weren't worth a great deal at the time, maybe $5.00 apiece, but I've held onto them. With stock divisions and so forth my number of shares has risen to fourteen. I don't pay much attention to them because the quarterly dividend check I receive usually works out to a grand total of $2.50.

The company must have had a seriously good quarter this time around, because the check I received was for about $143. :o Which just about covers the speeding ticket I got back in July. Go me.
