Enjoy Reading Week!

Hey everybody,

This coming week is reading week. Because we will be on vacation and largely unable to reach a computer, we’ve set up this coming week such that it will automatically post two quotes noon every day. We’ll be back to regular functioning on Monday, February 26. Until then, enjoy your reading/vacationing/procrastination. And keep on submitting, as we’ll be going full thrust when we return.
