[Dancing with Myself]

I am starting a TL that i created on another website. Do you guys want me to update by month or by year?

Sure!! Go for it.

[Dancing with Myself]

Sure!! Go for it.

How long do you want it to go?

[RosettaStoned]

Sounds good. A format that goes by years would be good. If you made it up until the present day, that would be awesome.

Expect part 1 before long

I would suggest updating by year, as updating by month will be way too long. I look forward to reading it. If you want, you can even update it by four years (as in Dewey's first term, then Dewey's second term, etc.).
