Tomorrow's livestream Q+A will begin at NOON CST. It's a weird time but I know a lot of folks have tomorrow off and streaming earlier allows people overseas to tune it at a reasonable time.
Until ...

Hey everyone, I wanted to let you all know that the livestream schedule is unfortunately out the door for this week. I decided not to stream on Monday since I knew we would have big storms, and sure enough I lost power briefly. However the storms came back Tuesday and totally wiped out the area I'm in, McHenry County IL.
The good news is that I'm safe, healthy, and mostly sane! But I've ...

Should be fun, join in if you can!
