Didn’t write a D&C today because the focus was on catching up on chapter 51, left unwritten yesterday because I was hanging out online with the Meppers all night. But it’s done and now I’m very excited that the number…

Butterfly Wings
It’s been a strange day. Last night proved to be a thoroughly redemptive exercise in basketball, as my streaky shooting caught fire and I played the way I always want to play, ever the more grateful for the opportunity to…

State Quiz New Image Relaunch!
After working on it on and off for a few weeks, I’m proud to announce the full-scale relaunch of the State Quiz, replete with new images and merchandise. I guess it’s not technically a relaunch if the quiz was never…
