Seven years ago today, something horrific happened – a day I’ll never forget. I was traveling for work – on a 2 week assignment to assist some co-workers in Morris Plains, NJ with the implementation of a document management system (in fact, it’s the same team I’m now a part […]
Still powerful words 232 years later. If you don’t know where this is from, you need to go back and take American History 101, or at least watch School House Rock. When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which […]
