Hi All --

First -- apologies for posting this today. For that, I'm reducing the amount of questions you need to answer. Still -- I hope that you started the article over the break and/ or will attempt to read the whole thing. It is worth it on So. Many. Levels...

Also, be ready for Socratic seminar around the two questions below, plus our usual FIRST and FOURTH questions -- What stood out? Why does this matter?

Oh - and here's is the link to article:

Best -- always,
