February 2nd, for most of us, is a humorous ten minutes of television news watching. A sole Pennsylvanian gopher pops out of a hole and single-handily declares the end of winter. Talk about a stressful profession! This day, however, represents something a little different for me. And I’m not just …
We’re thirteen days into the New Year. How are those resolutions coming along? Before we delve into how upset you are about eating that donut, or starting to smoke again, or how you’ve already cursed out Karen for taking your sticky notes, or why you need to explain how that …
