Okay, our website is live and online! Just in time to ring in the new year. I’ll be adding more content as we go but for the most part I’m happy with it. Please pop over, take a look, and let me know...
Did we make it? Well the short answer is almost. I just went through the entire list and am happy to say that what we didn’t accomplish fit on the back of an envelope. It just figures that there...
