Following is the combined progress of today and the previous class. It doesn't seem like much, but this comes after a lot of discussion, and come on; plot development? We know how I am about that.

• diner- this will be the first stop, but probably after some conversatiopn or something. It's about three in the morning. Suggested inclusion of a scandal about the local diner being bought out, but I might make it the diner Mrs. O'Leary mentioned in Ithaca. Reguardless, it is here that the pioneer conversation takes place, and henceforth, the journey is to Manan Island. Also, they get a sack of corn muffins that is their main food source for the rest of the story.
• Uncle Yunkie is not actually related to the father, but is a friend from high school (or college) gymnastics. They lost toush, but found each other recently, and he is coming for a visit that only the fater know about. He recognizes girl on sight from pics or something she says (not sure)
• There is going to be a scene where Yunkie ltes the girl drive,s that links to a time when her brother cajoled her into going for a spin
• Yunkie is going to bring up video games, ands he will remember a good time playing them with her brother
• butt-cheek planner- this will be somethign that her brother did tyo a kid at school, and she won't think its funny.

There are some other thing s I'm thining about, but not for certian including_

• maybe car breaking down part of the way home, and them having to walk the rest of the way- Originally, I was going to amke aher a hardcore Girl Scout, but that doesn't seem to fit now.
• Something about not being able to see the stars in the city
• the poetry in general. I think I've taken thigns in a different direction.
