And here we go, yet another month of disruption – and yet another month where people found interesting and fun ways to deal with it. Hope you enjoy! If You’re Happy And You Know It… Howl as loudly as possible. That’s at least what one Facebook group with over 500,000 members has decided to do. …
Just when I thought 2020 couldn’t throw anything else at me – well it did.
I’ve been thinking a lot about risk lately. In all fairness, as I near the end of my second month in quarantine I have been thinking a lot about all kinds of things – poetry, weasels, gymnastics, pancakes, mulch, and you get the idea. But as far as business goes, my brain keeps circling back…
