Happy Friday, which is also National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day and National Donald Duck Day! I'm down with Donald Duck, but not so sure about the pie. This week I was in Atlantic City from Monday morning until Wednesday afternoon and spent the last few days decompressing and catching up. The conference thing takes a lot out of me especially since my WFH days are spent with a dog. I came home to the smoke and haze caused by fires around Quebec, Canada. The air smelled like a bonfire and ...

Friday 5: Wolf!
Happy Friday! The most difficult part of the Big!Work!Upgrade! happened today and I am beat. It went really well in my opinion. Very few bugs and faster performance.
