Gris, I am so impressed with you right now. And also? MAN do we have a sexy-savvy posse! Just sayin'.
And because you all know that it's really all about me, I'm sure you've been dying to get a narrative update. I'm proud to say that despite having had only 45 minutes of sleep last night and having to teach three classes today, I managed to complete 10 more. 52 down, ten to go.
