KNOWLEDGE AND COURAGE TOGETHER

It's late so this is going to be a quick post.

Since no one was able to make the deadline--I'm reopening the Knowledge part of the Questing and letting it run till 10/15/09. Courage will be posted tomorrow and start tomorrow but for everyone who wanted to take part in the Knowledge Quest and didn't--get started digging out those friendships! Points are still available for the winning!

And now, to sleep perchance to dream.
