Well today we’re going to go a step further with that thought as we think about the message we send to ...read more

Discomfort with their behavior, discomfort with what they then expect from me, or even just ...read more

One thing we have in common is that we both have a sense of humor leaning toward puns and groaners. You’ve endured plenty of my groaners through the ...read more
