So things have been busy around here! I’m pleased to announce that the many-headed (just like a hydra, except we write on the internet) group of authors behind FakeAPStylebook known as the Bureau Chiefs has their own web site to showcase their writings at The Bureau Chiefs. I set up the web site with drupal [...]

Daddy is going to take the bus home.
No Bus Home. Choo Choo!
No Choo Choo. Bus!

I’ve been traveling in Illinois and Ohio listening to the car radio and I have now heard “Rainbow in the Dark” more times than I ever thought possible.
