Sabbatical: change but not rest
Today we take another look at the previous week, but from the perspective of the self proclaimed sabbatical. On Mondays I discussed my fitness progress from a physical perspective.

Muppets: Luck of the Irish
I decided to do a Muppet-themed blog today. Ran into both of these today while surfing the internet. Just wanted to shout out how lucky we are to have had such a creative person as Jim Henson and his muppets.
