WOW! I cannot believe all this has happened since I took a retreat from the industry. OMG! God bless you, Pam, for waiting for me to return because YOU knew I’d be chasing you down about this social media stuff. I’m looking at the list with my mouth dropped open….. I’ll need another two years just to figure all this out, but I am enjoying BSU!!
See you next week, Professor… ugh! Thank you (sigh:))!
