There are a few things that I've read here that I've called the whole family over to read. Battlefield was one of those. It's an amazing achievement, IMO.

The best thing about this prompt is that I can put all these things that I have to hunt for (every time!) in one convenient place. Maybe I should figure out that bookmarking feature...

Lots of these are ones that I mentioned in the "birthday post", but now with links! We live in amazing times.
