I’m writing this on Thursday morning, and it comes out on Monday so I hesitate putting anything about the pandemic because it’ll be out of date, and I’ll look at it and think … what the heck? So, other stuff. My forever foster cat eats only rotisserie chicken, and I...
A couple weeks ago, senior leadership had the great honor of listening to a presentation on Leader In Me.
