This past year was an eventful one for me. I cannot believe how much I’ve written in the past 24 months, and especially in the last 12. Actually, I should say I can’t believe how much I’ve had published in the last 12 months. I have turned out more content than I ever would have believed…

So Much to Tell, So Little Time!
I’m way behind, sorry about that! The trip to Washington DC was terrific, with great content from the Great Escape crew and fun new friends to keep me company.
