The season of moving

You may have noticed a recent lack of updates. Perhaps you thought, I forgot, or maybe didn’t have anything interesting to say. These things may be true but the real culprit is what I like to call, "a shift in the space/U-haul continuum".

That’s right, those crazy lovers of all things Christy are spending hours (all hours of the day and night) constantly reading and re-reading our site.
