I thought this week it would be fun to point out some little things that really aren’t that hard to do. Sure, some of them might take a little extra time or a little discipline, but I think if we all made an effort to do them, we could make life a little better for
Since my last column, a few folks asked me about Bones, the employee who oversees the candy at the office during the trick-or-treat season.
