The Hot Seat
Ok. So I am Jumping Into The Hot Seat. I’ve re-pressed this from Kevin who writes “Voices of Glass”. I thought it was a fantastic idea, and I’d like a way to really reconnect with my audience after such an extended absence. The rules are simple. The rules state that you cannot lie.

Consider it a precursor to the earliest of symptoms on either side of … Continue reading
