I ran a 26.2 mile foot race Sunday.

Got to run alongside an active duty USAF young man hauling an American flag for a mile.

Many veterans from New Hampshire were commemorated, including on the race bib itself.

CALL FOR ART SUBMISSIONS

2024 is the 40th Anniversary of the founding of CULT OF THE DEAD COW.

To commemorate this, we're going to be producing a challenge coin. We've got a design for the front, but looking for ideas for the back. Can anyone help us out?
