So, I’ve evidently been living under a rock for oh, say a month. I thought the dog days of summer meant lazily sitting around, drinking a sweet tea and trying to avoid collecting too much dust. For me, the dog days of summer are more like some kind of 1920s...

And, I’m back. So, when we last left The Rambling Jour, I was causing trouble in Monocacy and charming the fine gentlemen of the Shocker Mess. Prior to that, however, I had a wee bit of health issues. Spoilers: I’m fine now. Before being fine, I was...
