    The Sons and Daughters of Kate Bishop (archery)

    As with most great archers, I decided to take up the sport at the age of 48. I live in Connecticut, and my kids compete in the Nutmeg games (like a state Olympics only with a stupid name) in fencing. Well I decided I needed something for me so I went through the Nutmeg Game sports and landed on...

    CRM/SFA for Smaller Companies

    I'm looking to move off of Microsoft Dynamic 365 and on to a new SFA/CRM service. In the past I have used a lot of the big ones (most recently Salesforce). We are a small to midsize company and I don't anticipate having more than 5-6 users for the next couple years. I'm looking for a good...

    Softball hitting drill for 10 year old

    My daughter is 10 and loves softball.  Her strength has always been that she can put the bat on the ball.  However, this year I (and her coaches) have noticed a problem.  And I recognize this problem because I have the same damn problem in both my own softball game and in my golf game.  She does...

    Mary Willingham is being quite contrary

    So Mary Willingham is asserting her research on UNC football and basketball players shows that 8-10% of these players read below a third grade level. The University seems to be confused about how to respond using the kitchen sink approach of asserting they don't believe her, haven't seen the...
