Old-school news, just in time
by Kevin Burton Here we go kids, going to have a daaaaaay to-day. Gonna do the full Cincinnati today. That’s right!

by Kevin Burton I have a correction today. Got one of my facts wrong. The older of the two cats we got in December is 13, not 11 as I previously reported. Page 7 regrets the error. So does Gabbie for that matter. The confusion came because the lady at the cat …
