I had one of those days yesterday where I found it really hard to get into my work zone. I’m having a hard time regaining focus this new year. So, I did what always works when I need to clear my mind, and I took the dogs out for a walk. Houston weather is back in the 70s (for about…

While I am curious about Clayton’s season, I might start to…
