my fall writing retreat was just what I needed. I outlined and planned my edits, and got a HUGE jump on my last chapter.
The girlfriend who I went with was born 2 years before I graduated from high school.

In the US, law enforcement isn't just legally allowed to lie to you, they're ENCOURAGED to. OTOH, your lawyer is legally prohibited from lying to you and can lose her license for it.
