This site has been lacking in recent updates, but one shouldn’t assume I’ve been sitting idly by…on the contrary I’ve been working diligently (somewhat) to bring this site “up to snuff” with the rest of the interweb.

The Summer of Los has coming to a heartbreaking conclusion with this past weekend’s loss to Pike in the 3-4 game to determine the recipient of the last bid to Nationals.
