The past several weeks have been so full. I’ve had multiple work trips (Minneapolis, San Francisco, Anaheim), three humongous work events, houseguests, family visits, and a particular emotional roller coaster that’s still unfolding.

Just a few things I would like to mention… Toad’s haircut Remember Toad? SHE GOT HER SUMMER HAIRCUT! She’s still the happiest little Piggy Toad on the planet. Speaking of “Toad” I saw this dead, flattened frog in the parking lot at work. I took a picture of it. I don’t know why. The fact…
