May 9, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 9 Comments

It is a simple thing. I am searching for a password to an alumnae account so I can update a profile. I am searching for the key, a combination of letters and numbers that resides somewhere on a thumb drive, itself a key. I have only to locate the right one – a small strip […]
