Six more weeks

March 5, 2010 By Scott Richardson Filed under Article Tags: website

February second has always been a favorite of mine, but this year my query was dually inquisitive.

2/2 — Clear and bright. Website work continues.

Now, well short of March 16, we've stirred from hibernation. Yes, 11 more days would make it more perfect, but we'll ease into the site, work out the kinks, start to really stretch, then poke our nose above ground, reintroducing ourselves to the wonders around us.
