CCS: The Final Lap

So, you may have noticed that there's been an address change here. My blog is now located at http://blog.cityofcards.com in preparation for the full launch of the City of Cards site. It's gonna happen!

I have enjoyed the challenge and I will continue to enjoy the challenge. Being able to push myself as hard as I can and being able to see my progress has been good, but I've also been running like a horse with blinders for this past year and a half or so and I don't know when I'll really be able to slow down and take in everything that has happened. It won't be for another five or so months, though, I can assure you of that.
