If you are a reader, we would like to know what the last book is that you’ve read? And where were you sitting when you read it? Do you have a special space?

Is there something that you would like to learn – something on your bucket list? Pam and Ellen have some things to share. I have been a lifelong learner. In my career, you constantly had to keep current on the technology and each time software was updated, I had to learn the new tricks. I have translated that skill of keeping current to my personal life as well. While I have never fully learned a foreign language, it has always been there as a bucket list item –…
