If you’re in the market for a good deed to do, I’ve got a great opportunity for you.

Endless Light

My posting frequency has suffered a bit over the past few months, but I’m happy to report that this time it isn’t because I’ve gone tumbling ass over elbows down into the depths of depression again.
