Okie(s) in Florida

And I’m not talking about with Ryan.
The other day, I went to working lunch with my boss.  We were meeting a young gentleman regarding some partnership opportunties.  I had never met this man before.
We meet, everyone shakes hands, and we head to our table.  We had a nice meeting and a good lunch, and then […]

Kathryn got a job.
She’ll be working at Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Broward. She starts tomorrow. I’ll let her tell you more, if she ever gets around to blogging.

Snap.
So I never did get around to doing some of the things I wanted ’round here.
Now it’s a few months … an eternity … later and I’m married. So you’ll see some changes, particularly in the title above.
Kathryn wanted to do a blog where we both type. OK. So now it’s no longer Okie in […]
