Basically, Ruth has been kind enough to take-over all of the posting on TWT so I can settle into my new home… Continue reading Temporary Blogging Absence

The Big Picture: Our Colleagues.

So we're making it official, and for the rest of the week you'll see posts around this topic. On… Continue reading The Big Picture: Our Colleagues.

Our 1,000th Post
As I was moderating comments this morning, I realized that we've written 999 posts. OH MY GOSH!

But first, since I'm also a numbers… Continue reading Our 1,000th Post
