Story of the Issue

Well, well, well... you want to know the story of this issue? I'd be lying if I told you we were releasing when I intended to. This one got away from me like a trout slipping back into the stream. We have some wonderful contributions, some epic stories, and some artistic photography. And it takes more than a little focus to pull it all together into something cohesive. But it is summer, or damn near enough to it, so a late release is nothing to beat our heads over. After all, if house projects and trip planning and warm afternoons spent in the garden or in a book are what slow you down, it's probably for the best.
