Hi Everybody,

Hi Everybody,

Hi Everybody,
Just passing along a research tip I learned the hard way. The fact is, the art and craft of “research” can be as slow as congealed molasses in the wintertime. However, I’ve found it’s not how slowly your research progresses, but what you do with the microscopic bits of information you are fortunate enough to find.
