The Blog Retirement Article

Well hello there! I don’t need to tell you that the Blog has been pretty much dormant for the past year-plus. There are more than a few reasons for that, and it’s not just Covid. Yes, the season being cancelled last year took a lot of wind out of everyone’s sails, and while there is…

Hey, everyone. Thank you to all who have written in so far with their thoughts about what this experience has been like for them.

NE UPDATE: SPRING BREAK VS CORONAVIRUS

NE SPRING BREAK UPDATE Can I tell you how dispiriting it is in the Blog group chat right now?

Women’s 2020 Indoors Preview: Blogger Round Table

Last Thursday, D3AS texted me “Y’all alive over there orrrrr”. I’m assuming it was due to our relatively slow pace of articles, not because he truly thought the collective women’s blog team had gotten CORVID-19 and died.
