Hey, there, #CustomerLove-rs!
How is it going in this Time Between Challenges?
For me it’s been a bit of an Odd Duck Week: the last couple of days filled with sad as my housie lost a dear Internetz friend, and the earlier parts of the week filled with a weird mix of fog & revelations.
How about you?
The Challenge
