It has been almost one year since my last post. That isn’t good. Here are the wikipedia tabs I currently have open:

While mourning her loss he had sought spiritual guidance from the former Archbishop of Canterbury Geoffrey Fisher, but became dismayed when Fisher told him that although Olivia was in Paradise, her beloved dog Rowley would never join her there, with Dahl recalling: “I wanted to ask him how he could be so absolutely sure that other creatures did not get the same special treatment as us.

That’s all. Now I can allow Chrome to release some of my RAM. See ya next year.
