Midnight Slip
The Principal of the Donadoni Academy has enjoyed immense amounts of family time. And Wally time. And to have the Academy free from the strain of multiple humans streaming other humans through computers and walking around like virtual zombies rushing to their next glitch filled google meetings and the zoomy zones of gloom has been ….

Happy Chew Year!
May your New Year be filled with as much goodness as the bones that Wally found from the Turkey Carcass that was not so carefully tucked away in the garbage. Thankfully, we can now enjoy the sound of creatures crunching on pirated snacks for days to come. Every couple of hours the little devil will …. Read More
How Long Ya Gonna Be?
When you are already living, working, playing, and let’s face it…doing everything in close quarters, TIME can get away from you.

Giving Thanks…I think.
It’s a good thing that the Donadoni Academy will be able to pause some operations this week for the Holiday, because the staff is clearly showing some alarming effects from all the zoom and gloom. Even Wally is worn haggard and can barely contain his glee when he returns to the comforts of what are …. Read More
Who Are You?
The Kildonan Experience from 1994-1997 gave me the opportunity to meet so many absolutely legitimately bona-fide “characters” and have myriad bizarre, essential, amazing, indelible, and priceless experiences.
