The League - The Cowboys and The Moment of Truth
Hey Barkers – good to be back. A little more than a month of pure work and home life chaos (not BAD chaos, for the most part, but chaos nonetheless) pretty much curtailed all of my leisure activities including my writing, but after some major Hydra-head-chopping and stump-searing I’ve got some...
