Egypt and Progress

It seems fitting that today's post be about progress--most of mine are. But today it's not only about my insignificant progress on my book (yes, I do believe it to be insignificant compared to things happening on a global scale), but about PROGRESS for people. The president of Egypt has stepped down finally. After 30 years or more in power, he's abdicated. This is a huge victory for peaceful protest. This is a huge victory for the world in general. Yes, there are rocky roads ahead for Egypt, because now the military is in control and honestly, who knows how well this is going to go? But it is a step in the right direction, and that can't be scoffed at.

On the insignificant front, tonight is going to be a busy night for me, so I am getting my update done now. The progress I've reached so far might be well surpassed tonight, but you'll just have to wait and find out tomorrow if that's the case. I'm not done working for the day, just not sure how much time I'll have to update later.
