It’s been three years already?

Posted on August 2, 2010 by SynCaine

And this blog turns 3! Actually it turned 3 years old a few weeks ago, but that whole getting married thing prevented a timely update, so this one is a little late. 3 years is a rather crazy length of … Continue reading →

Posted on July 1, 2010 by SynCaine
