Farewell, WUS house!

The year 2019 was not just the end of a decade, but an end of an era for the WUSsies, with the sale of the WUS house in August. Sure, it hasn’t really been the ‘WUS house’ in ages. But it’s symbolic. WUS has also had to survive the arrival of the babes. Those little poop machines sure put a dent in a running schedule. You can tell the new parents by their glazed eyes and resigned responses to How are you doing? As one of those dead-eyed new parents, I’m totally out of the loop and surely missed some big WUS events. But, I have survived 2019 by sticking tight to the motto that a poor attempt is better than no attempt at all, so here it goes:
