Some of you may have noticed that I have had to cancel my #stream a lot lately. This is a result of my schedule having changed and Thursdays at 1pm eastern is just no longer working. I am actively looking at changing when the stream happens, suggestions welcome.

No stream this week, all. Take care and watch this space for a potential new stream time!
