Today was great when I was not on the computer and away from people. Then I had to get back on the computer and my day has just gone rapidly downhill again.

Yesterday evening I had the opportunity to attend a webinar for gov employees, hosted by Colorado Senators John Hickenlooper and Mike Bennet. It was nice they took time to show support and provide resources. I haven’t seen Utahs leadership provide this, or act like they care….
