Weekend CUP

You know how it feels good to clean off your desk and have a fresh start? I’ve collected a number of articles over the past 6 months that I didn’t get a chance to blog about. As we move rapidly towards 2016, I wanted to start with a clean slate.  There are certainly some gems in here! Hopefully you have some time off over the holidays, and maybe you check this list twice with a drink in hand!
