As part of my commitment to more blogging this year, I’ve been thinking about participating in the January 2014 NaBloPoMo: write a blog post every day for the month of January. Every day. There are lots of things I do…

Resolutions. Got Some?
As I always do around this time of year, I’ve been thinking about goals. It seemed prudent to go back and look at the more or less resolutions I made a couple of years ago and think about what I’d…
