Don’t Give Up! You’re Three Feet From Gold
This morning my email client announced an email from Mr. Greg S. Reid. It is not unusual to hear from Greg from time to time, but something was different today. His email captured my attention with the very first line after the greeting….

Dysfunction Junction What’s Your Function?
It’s true. I’m a product of Schoolhouse Rock and 1970’s Saturday morning cartoons. Hence the title of this post.
