Lent, Personal Progress, and Adoption
I’ve surprised myself at how well I’ve done at not checking in on work after I leave the office. I can’t say I haven’t been tempted, though — I have. I did finally give in last night… we might have a technical person coming out to visit today and I hadn’t heard anything about the [...]
Reinventing Lent
I’ve got some more snow storm photos and updates to post, but I’m a little behind… I’ll catch up, I promise!
