The Out-of-Towner

So paying the bills has taken me away from my real work (boo hoo!), but once I'm home we will continue with the HOTH series and finish the WAWWH series.

In the meantime, please check out Vyz's latest incarnation at thinkorbebeaten.com

I will be back at the editing desk as soon as I'm able.

ciao for now
