So, what’s in a name, and how does it apply today? Curious, I did a quick search on my last name, Kowalski, and lo and behold, it fits in with what my team and I love to do every day – getting up early and staying late to solve your PIA (Pain in the @%$) […]
With everything going on across the country, and all the changes in Washington, a friend of mine used the term “a circus” to describe all the events, attractions, daredevils, tightrope walkers, big animals, and more.

Like most of you, I’m planning on watching “the game” on Sunday – (when writing this, the final two have not been determined) one thing I know for sure is it’s not my Brownies!!

This weekend we again get to be a part of a fun and very important tradition – Groundhog Day.
