Hi, everyone! Well, I’m back from Scotland. And even though I’m not yet an immortal, I still had a pretty great trip (including my very first taste of haggis). Naturally, of course, there’s lots of great stuff to catch up on… So, why not come and join me for a recap of things that happened while I was away?
