EXTRA! EXTRA! Get Your Group Read Here! Single up all lines NOW.

[Perry Noid]

I think you all are still waiting on me for the M&D section I was meant to
cover. Will hopefully get that done by 2020. There's no excuse considering
how little was expected but, just sayin, I've had a much tougher time
getting into M&D than GR. Plus some personal stuff happened around then
that sorta kept me from reading anything at all for a couple months.

But thanks, Mark, for being our sword of fate. I'm going away from my home
in Lemuria on the west coast during the ides of March for a week or so,
to not far from that M&D line, don't know if that means good auspices or
bad sign, or excluded middle. Hopefully I can redeem myself.
