Just deployed some changes to the site. What does Ms. York have in store for you?

Mr. X: "Thank you for being flexible with the start time. I had to take some time for Aunt Kathy." Ms. York: "Is that a euphemism?" Mr. X: "No, I actually have an Aunt Kathy."

What a FEAST was had celebrating @petitmort.bsky.social

Leaves are changing and days are shorter. Starting to make a few winter plans. Which do you prefer Aspen or Vail? Why?
