Bye Bye Blackhawks

Again, sorry about being lax with the blog updates, but I have a good excuse. I’ve been vacationing in Florida for two weeks. Okay, you caught me, that’s a lie. Well, it’s kind of the truth, since I live vicariously through others. I’ve also been fighting wildfires in Australia.
