Well, 2025 is now in the history books, and 2026 is begun.

I wish I could announce a new story chapter today like I did on January 1st last year, but the last couple months both Real Life and some non-GB interests have been eating at my time. But I have made some progress on "The Sign of the Twins", and hope to have something ready to go soon.

So, anyway, I want to wish everyone a Happy N...

Goddamn it, this year is going to suck with teeth too, isn't it?

Have as safe and happy a Thirty Sixth Year of the Age of Aquarius as you can.
