It's been one of those weeks.* I'm sure you've had them yourself - an event Monday night, 3 consecutive Tuesday meetings, a late night at work Wednesday, a soccer game...you've been there. I've been longingly anticipating Sunday, the only day on this week's calendar which is completely open. Of course, when I say "completely open" … Continue reading The present of time
