What are you up to lately?

• Stuart – Work, some reading, trying to stay out of political “discussion” (and failing miserably…)
• Derek – Had a Council meeting last week, filled out my annual self-evaluation at Olio, lots of meetings with prospects this past week and sounds like some forward movement on some old leads. Looking forward to big things the rest of the month!
