It’s official. Wave 6 has claimed me. I was fine until I wasn’t and the transition was really fast. Gene tested negative so I had to get out as quickly as possible to not make things worse for him. It was like what I imagine leaving Berlin before an air…
This is officially the longest title in the almost 12 year history of the blog. Now that that is out of the way, here’s the story. Some of you have heard me complain about this for weeks, and for that I am sorry. I would hate to have to listen…
