It's not exactly tiny, but SMART, can we get one?

Hell yeah, encouragement, that's what I need!

Well it was a lunch more than an actual party, and there's really not a huge amount to report, and you're not interested anyway, but HELLO TO ME IN THE FUTURE, how's it going five years from now? Do you remember that day, about five years ago, when y...

OK I think it's cool now

It wasn't really that exciting, our office was burgled. When I got in the place was crawling with cops, and then soon after the full CSI team arrived dusting for fingerprints and things. Seems we were done over while there were still people in the bu...

And we did return to Escondido
