Want to know what I'm doing this weekend?

A little announcement. Today is going be my last day doing the links. Until two weeks from now. I'm starting a new job blah blah blah, the point is, I won't have access to the internet until Oct. 25. Poor College Student will handle the links all next week. Please send him stuff to make his job easier to gametimelinks(at)gmail.com.

Toodles.
