Once-A-Year Day & A Contest
In the grand tradition of the shameless self-promotion that happens in this space on this day, I’m going to be All About Me and announced that today is my birthday. Well, the beginnings of – today is the actual day, but celebrations will, as usual, be stretched out over a week or so. I’m not…
