I will be working in Denver all next week so I won’t be able to respond to inquiries and questions in a timely way. I thank you for your patience in advance. To tide you over in my absence, we will be hosting book give-aways, sponsored by OPR. Yay, free books!

For now, here is this week’s archive entry so you can scan some of the content published on this site over the past seven years with still more on the archives page. Hope your weekend and week to come is great.
