Regular flavor is Swinging Singles Club is still queued up months and months ahead which kind of takes some of the urgency out of digitizing things. Not that I've really felt the urge lately.

Pick it up now while it's cheap and available or regret it later. It's just how I'm coping with being cooped up for a year and getting sick. But any...
