The Eagle, Landed
Well, here it is---today marks the first day with the new HOLMES site up and fully functioning. We've finally carved our own little plot. As for this space, this blog, we'll see how and where it goes. Everything before today has been moved over from the former HOLMES tumblr site. Strap sightings will continue, just because it's good fun. Probably some shots of works in progress will appear here and there, random musings, and whatever else occurs in the moment.
