The New Normal
Strange times right now. I've been saying that for some, thinking it a lot more. The current COVID-19 pandemic, this situ bares in stark relief the bigger picture frame I've been thinking about for a while. Circumstances changing, expected some, some not expected; no matter either way, change, adjust we must. These neubulus images offered, …
Smack Down
Learning can be very challenging. VERY CHALLENGING. Sometimes you find yourself in the mud, the thick, and it sucks. You make repeated mistakes, same issues, and it's confounding, really...troubleshooting, reviewing your process, trying to understand why the errors are happening. It can feel like a smack down.
