Progress

Posted on October 8, 2019 by

Posted on July 9, 2019 by

Champions Day

Posted on June 18, 2019 by

Today was the Raptor’s celebration parade. I couldn’t go, but that didn’t stop me from getting a taste of what was happening. My bus seemed more crowded than usual. I didn’t really put two and two together until I realized, … Continue reading →

When the Bus Door Opens to Random

Posted on April 12, 2019 by

Winter Wonderland

Posted on January 24, 2019 by
