13 Days And Counting!

Hello Bloggers and THE SAVANNAH SYNDROME (TSS) fans! I apologize for the extremely short post today.  I actually had to go to a real place and do real work this morning, so I'm running way behind, and we've got a slew of things to do.  Check out my personal blog here, I'll be focusing my energy there today as I finish the history of my life, briefly.  By Saturday I should have brought fans and readers up to speed on what has led us to Savannah and the creation of TSS.  That being said, here is page nine of TSS, followed by another picture.  Y'all enjoy and have a wonderful end of the week!
