I always like to take a moment to be thankful for all those soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.  Many more are at risk everyday and should always be in our thoughts, but this holiday is a remembrance of those who fell in battle. We are lucky enough to be here thanks to those people and there is not enough that can be said. So I'll leave it with a few simple words: We remember. Thank you.

They knock things over, throw each other into walls, pull each others fur out, and, somehow, no one ever seems to get hurt. Tonight was a particularly loud and violent fracas that seemed to escalate because Ashley and I were trying to have...

Progress is going slower than I'd like, mainly due to procrastination, but a little bit due to an incredibly busy schedule. No excuses though. Probably about 8-10% of the way done with the first draft, which puts me behind my completely arbitrary deadline set by my taskmaster of a publisher (that would be me as well).
