My good friends Steve & Deb Zeller, in partnership with Lin and Bonnie [...] Keep reading My weekend at Parley Lake Winery, and a little Santa Claus thrown in For those that have been reading for awhile, you’ll notice I play… with the background, the fonts, adding photos, updating poor grammar. This past weekend I added tags to my posts, and now they appear as a wordcloud to the right. Cool! Having just come from a role creating data structure in my job at [...] Keep reading Categorizing, Organizing, Similies and Metaphors I have a coaching session with Michelle 3 times per month.
