Fridays are for fun, right? I have decided to reserve Fridays for posts about things I consider fun. I thought I would start this series with one of my favorite hobbies, hiking. The Appalachian Trail has been a crush of mine for many years. It started as a blazing obsession with dreams of one day …

I had an absolutely marvelous time at the DHI Conference in New York. It was my first trip to the city and I cannot wait to go back! As expected, the conference was smaller than in years past. The acquiring of smaller companies by larger entities definitely played a part in fewer exhibitors over recent …
