I made a few mistakes this week. I did a report that was needed for our management and I didn’t do some of it correctly.   Fortunately when we were reviewing it prior to the presentation we noticed the parts that were wrong. I changed them prior to the meeting and…

This week was filled  with activity for me outside of work. Lunch meetings with friends from the past, a breakfast meeting with a new friend, a men’s group meeting, dinner with my neighbor, swimming with my family, skatepark time with my son, and hanging out with friends that came over to…
