I've been to Madison to visit my friend who lives there--and even went bowling a few weeks ago. Look at me: I'm a social butterfly! It's getting easier to leave home.

As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess! I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok.
