Resolution – No Resolution?

December 28, 2011

Resolutions or No Resolutions? That is the question.  I am sure at least 90% of the people out there are thinking about the close of 2011 and the beginning of 2012.  I know I sure am.  And of those 90% (I totally just made that percentage up) how many are making new “plans” for the new year?  Are they making…

New Specs

December 27, 2011

December 6, 2011
