More on MEPS
Just a quick update on my son and MEPS before I get to the actual work of the day. He took the Linguistics exam with six other young men. All seven, he said, were utterly convinced that they failed it. He’ll hear today, but I imagine he’s right. You generally know when you toast a…

Bad News on the Dock
Hawkspar is about to have a bad day get worse. She’s been up to her elbows in other people’s blood, she spent a few uncomfortable hours hiding in a box full of torture tools, and she’s now on her way to discover her buddies figured she was dead and left without her, leaving her in…
