Advice from a Dream.

Not too long ago my wife an I were on vacation, and I had a dream involving advice on life. I donโ€™t remember if I was giving or receiving the advice, but the points were rather good.

Get Back to Work!

So... no blog post last week. It's kinda interesting how much I feel like I need to explain why I missed last week, but Iโ€™m not going to.
