MMWS: Day 11 – It’s Breaking a Rule, But Urban Hayseed’s Going on Hiatus

Readers of all shapes and sizes,

I know I said I’d blog every day about this experience, and I wish I could.  But life throws those unexpected curveballs now and then, and my personal life has taken a bit of a turn to which I need to pay attention.  For what it’s worth, I think I [...]
