I’m on the couch, typing this little weekend update on my laptop with Joe hanging out next to me and Earl the Pug at my feet. I’d say that’s just about a perfect Sunday night. (Oh, and there was ice cream. Always ice cream.) The weather felt more like late fall around here last week […] Read more…
Well, I have to say this week went by fairly quickly. It seems as if I spent the bulk of my time in the office troubleshooting technology issues.
