Where To From Here?
We’ve decided to delay the test of our new concept until the spring. This gives us a chance to pick a destination and plan a route. Still, the question of where lingers.
A New Way to Vacation?
Who says working remotely means you have to be at home?
In Pursuit of Happiness
Find reasons to laugh! I’ve been working on this for YEARS! I haven’t always been happy all the time. Even now I am not happy all the time. But I keep trying.
