Portage is still going strong; his journal is updated almost daily, still in-depth and a good read. So far, best of 2016 IMHO. It's really thorough enough that it could be easily repurposed as a book.
Anyone know what's happened with AK, who started over in February? His journal ends on March 20 as of today's check. There was some mention in his guestbook of an illness but nothing more. I liked his journal almost as much as Portage's.
