Thanks Jeff, “ruined my day” LOL! The Starbucks reference just made me realize how much I miss a great coffee experience. Seriously, I just watched a video on “coding” and they showed what Facebook and Twitters […]

I agree, Christina. Half our school has also checked out and that is creating many issues on the ground for the ones who have to try and keep the ship afloat. I just wonder why the people in charge do not […]
