My season runs from March 9th to October 7th (7 months). My plan is to play out one seasonal month every two weeks, that will give me time to absorb whats happening and post interesting highlights here. I don't know if I can keep up that pace, but I will try. Hope you enjoy reading along.
By the way, I'm also looking forward to anyone else that plans on playing out the PCL Quickstart
