Walk with me here. These are a divisive cookie. Some people hear the concept and they think, “yes of course, why didn’t I think of that sooner.” Other people hear it and say, “No, I don’t want Cheez-Its in a cookie.” I do think there is a correct response, of course, but I can respect…
This summer is flying by. Somehow it’s mid-July already, and this weekend will be my first in my house in a month… and I’ll be at a music festival for most of it. It’s great to be busy, but that does mean that I feel a bit on the back foot in terms of State…
