Alright I admit, I have been a lazy mofo and frankly the dribble that pours out of my brain cells and onto this blog just hasn't been dribbling, in fact it has been a downright case of brain fade. Still caught in this death spiral and realizing that all of the action of May is getting to the point where Alzheimer's is going to prevent anyone from ever knowing the true story here it is in the most condensed version ever.
