As of tonight, I have five songs down for my RPM Challenge CD. The going has been slower than I thought.

One of my best friends Leah has been fighting for justice in the wake of the murder of her sister, Toby. To document her struggles in that respect, and also to provide positive last rites for Toby, Leah has put up a site in her honor.
Leah normally is kinda squeamish about putting herself out there [...]
