My hope and goal was to be done with classes and have the diploma in hand about, well, right now. Due to circumstances I’m not going to publish on the web, my summer class did not work out. So, this week I started my last class, take two. In a lot of ways, I’m thrilled [...]

How many times in life do we wish we could just say, “I call a do-over!”? Poof! Time goes back, and we can do whatever we messed up all over again, and get it right this time. I wish this at least once a day. I think it is one of the reasons I love [...]
