Wednesday, December 10, 2014   I worked from home in the early morning because I had to get things together for the trip to Orlando. My flight was scheduled to leave at 2:00 in the afternoon, but I had an enormous amount of work to complete because of the last-minute change, with Luke not going. […]

Tuesday, December 9, 2014   Late in the afternoon today I learned that Luke would not be able to accompany me to Orlando. He is the father of four young boys and family obligations were going to hold him back. Ok. That mean I would make the entire presentation. I would not only educate the […]
