Hey everyone,

Anyway, I tried to write a light, snarky DL [...]

Slow Day Blogging, Big Day Working
Not much blogging on this rainy Tuesday unfortunately.
But boy howdy did I get a lot of stuff done at work. One of my proposals is in the review/edit stage. Another goes into the review/edit stage tomorrow. I wrote the Holiday Appeal in about 15 minutes, then wrote a second version for comparison. The second [...]

I’ll leave the Pickin in the Pasture review to MaryE Yeomans, which I’m sure you’ll enjoy and take this opportunity to post some pictures.
Back at the Grillbillies’ camp, the theme for the festival was “Let’s All be Pirates”. Dobro player Adam Schmidt had decorated the campsite with plastic “jolly roger” flags, and had dressed up [...]
Drinking Liberally, 8/22: Armageddon Awaits!
Just a quick reminder that Armageddon or no, we’re still going to be Drinking Liberally at 18th Street and Lombard in Center City Philadelphia from 6-whenever PM!
