#ScifiMonth Mission Log: one
We promised a casual ScifiMonth this year, but that doesn't mean we're not monitoring comms and standing by to boost the signal. Lisa and I will be doing 2 logs this month: today, we're revisiting the posts from the first two weeks and we'll be back at the end of the month with a final round up.
