Phil Grupe 10/20/2017 7:18 AMWeekend coming up, and this time I'll try to remember to log points on Saturday and Sunday! Of course, the days when I have the easiest time accomplishing some of these items, are also the ones when I have the hardest time remembering about the challenge so I can help the team out. But I suppose the personal (and environmental) wins still make it a pretty good tradeoff in the end. -
Phil Grupe 10/12/2017 7:34 AMMoving our office a few miles down the highway from downtown Madison has made my commute a bit more difficult to do without a car (especially on a rainy day like this one), but being situated across said highway from the UW Arboretum sure has made it easy to spend time each day appreciating nature, be that the changing colors, nesting pairs of red-tail hawks, the bike ride to work, etc.-
