1000 Posts and Counting This blog started back in March 2017 and has been a going concern (sometimes very concerned!) for over 8 years now. As my mental health has changed and my motivation has lagged sometimes, the post …

After my 1000th post, I'm keeping up the momentum! A post every other day (and three days in a row) has been good. Have another ready for Thursday, though there won't be another one after that until Monday because of #Bottoscon. dudetakeyourturn.ca/2025/10/29/1...
