It was kind of an annoying week in a number of respects, which called for something frivolous and morale-bosting. Thus, this: Dr. Brown is horrified to discover who's been funding Dr. Red's research on the Philosopher's Stone. The shiny rocks are from a collection of "Gold and Diamonds" (i.e.…

I'm heading out of town for a weekend of business meetings so there'll be nothing new for a while. I probably will have some time to jump on and leave a comment or two tomorrow, however. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
