You've been hanging around Doug too much. You're not making sense.

Actually, the Event Reminder email list is where it was first, as always. (and it's been mentioned in two of them)

But, I usually do post a thread here before I put it on Facebook, and I forgot.

But, that has nothing to do with the course map, which normally isn't posted earlier than 2 weeks out.

Consequently, it can be easy to forget that antagonists are just as important in driving your character’s personal arc as they are the plot’s conflict. - K.M. Weiland

I felt it was a bit strong to insinuate directly that you may fall to Ben's competence yet again.

Well, based on Monday's arrival, I'll assume that's broken just like the Mayor's cars - now we've gone full circle.

I'll await the course map, on Monday; after the not so standard Sunday classic, for which there's exceptions - even occasionally for course map postings!

Lest Dan should chastise me again for being forgetful or insufficiently prompt...

Here's the Course Map (high-res PDF)
