Just a Coincidence or Synchronicity?

Sunday is our day to grocery shop and my husband and I work to turn this weekly task into quality time together. We usually plan our meals for the week while we shop and gather up what we need. We peruse the magazines and gift sections; later we have coffee and a pastry or bagel…

What shoveling snow taught me about project management
