A Brief Word: The Final Rush


With only a few minutes left until the Challenge begins, I’m rushing about to make sure everything kicks off without a hitch. E-mails are being written, and the main post is being edited and reviewed once more. I’m a firm believer in Murphy’s Law, as I’ve seen the results of a plan gone awry. Good intentions can turn foul, and a meticulously planned event can turn to dust at a moment’s notice.

I am happy to see that this event will be off to a strong start. I do offer an apology for the shorter post tonight, but I hope to return to normal once the challenge kicks off. Thank you for your patience, and have a wonderful night, dear reader.
