You are probably all tiring of the descriptions of the superb weather we are having here, but it bears repeating. It. Is. Glorious. Lots on the docket to talk about today, most of it coming in the vein of ‘items on the WFU smorgasboard’. Urge […]
I have the worst case of Spring Fever ever, and I gotta be honest, it is really hard to want to sit in my office and work when I could go outside and enjoy the sunshine and nearly 80 degree weather. So today’s Daily Deac […]
