Highlights from Ps & Q

I came into the week looking rather unkempt.With a shaggy, uncared for beard and pretty out of control hair that hadn't been cut since July, I was definitey rocking some pandemic hobo chic.I finally made the call to get in for a haircut, and I initially thought I...

For the past few weeks, we've pondered what to do about taking the kids to see Santa Claus this year. We know some of the malls are still doing Santa villages, but the inevitable crowds and overall setup don't feel particularly safe. In normal times, we went to a...

Wednesday, I had a big sustainability presentation to give to a group at the US Green Building Council. It had been on the books for months, so of course I waited until about the day before to start making updates and upgrades to my presentation and getting prepped...
