The clock is ticking. Countertops a switching. Wall calendar's flipping. Will I fit cornered by time into a new role? What obstacles will I find, or will it just be a natural and an easy fit? Yikes - in just 30 days, I'll be saying goodbye to something about myself besides our countertops. I hope… Continue reading 30 days to what???

You’re going as what for Halloween?
If I were invited to a Halloween party this year, I'd have the perfect costume in mind to wear. I can usually dream up something last minute to pull it off.
