Sexist Traci

February 20, 2017

In less than 24 hours I am going to be promoted to Captain of the Chief for one month.  This is a fairly big promotion.  I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m a little nervous. Normally I’m the Navigator.  Why?  Because I’m 10000 times better at navigating than Scott.  (It’s all about the details!)…
