The manuscript is in, the MA is looming
Here it is! Proof that the thesis is finally not going to change again! Chey has worked very hard on this, for almost three years, I think. It is 140+ pages, with untold numbers of pages of revisions leading up to its final form. Congratulations Chey!

Shot at Ottowa Sportsmen’s Club
These past two evenings I have been shooting. It has been a year, so I was a little hesitant about how I’d do. But, somewhat surprisingly, the first night I shot an Expert score (819 out of 900) and the second night I shot a Master score (571 out of 600). Here are last night’s […]
