Let's change gears and talk about fashion for a bit. It's a hot button topic, to be sure. With more and more shows telling me how to dress, how not to dress, what to wear, what not to wear, how to feel, how to act, how to cook, how to decorate, how to talk, and [...]

There's many answers to that, but for the time being, I am a scribe, an observer, and an activist for the common, dedicated player [...]
