Back To Square 1 With T9?

I seriously didn’t think he’d be that mad, I just thought he might be a tad perplexed about …

Well shit. I just went to Holly’s blog and it looks like the tumour’s gotta come out. January 11, whether or not she has the money for the ABI, the surgery to remove the tumour has to happen. It’s pressing on her brain stem and all kinds of not cool stuff. If I understand it …
The Long-Awaited, Long Holiday Post
I always write a post about the holidays. It’s just a matter of when. I’m crazy, and want to get through the easy stuff first before I sit down and crank out a giant epic. But it seems writing the holiday epic has become the thing I’ve done since Steve and Matt let me come …
