Hello, chickens. I’m a little overwhelmed these days what with the Olympics and the Olympics and the Olympics, so these posts are going to be a little sparse over the next couple of weeks. After all, I still have to person between watching three+ hours of sports every night and then writing about three+ hours of sports every day.
Here’s my updated renew/cancel gallery over at Chron.com. As soon as the Olympics are over, I’m guessing this gallery will be seeing a lot more changes.
