While on travel to San Antonio, TX was able to work on Sooley Base. One morning the thought of a quite different prime character approached. As the previous character wasn’t very believable in terms of his setting, I went with the new inspiration and changed his outlook and beliefs substantially. His skill with languages fit still, so that remained as before.

Crazy how I wake early in the morning and had characters from a book in mind as my eyes drifted around the room. We were in San Antonio for the US Army’s Dental Corps 100^th anniversary. There were FREE Continuing Education courses and a business lunch, plus a formal Ball. We abstained from several events, but spent hours walking through the downtown Riverwalk, with its elegant shops and restaurants. The Rio Taxi, through the shallow canals downtown, was a treat.
