Hey everyone. This will be my last Lookout Landing post. It’s sad stepping away, but after talking it through with Kate and John, it feels like the right move. It’s been an awesome couple of years and I’m fortunate to have had the opportunity. I’m looking forward to reading this site for the rest of my Mariner-loving life. Without further ado, let’s get to the links.
