Welcome to Good Mythical More. I don’t know what to tell you, except we’re going to play Wikispedia. That’s where you have to start on a Wikipedia page, and then, using only links within that Wikipedia entry or article, get to another place. Like, they want us to go from bed and breakfast Wikipedia to our own Wikipedia entry, and see how quickly we can do it. But first, we’re going to donate $1,000 to Altadena Girls to aid in their mission to help teen girls who lost everything in the Los Angeles wildfires rebuild their lives.
