February Newsletter – Goin’ Up on a Twosday

By Chris Plunkett Newsletter No Comments

Earlier this week was 2/22/22 – occurring on a Tuesday, no less. Or rather, Twosday. It was a once-in-a-lifetime palindrome date that won’t happen again for 400 years. A woman in North Carolina gave birth precisely at 2:22 am to a daughter in delivery room 2. Another mom in Pennsylvania, after 2 days in labor, welcomed not one baby, but twins. Deuces are wild!

January Newsletter – Month-Long Monday

By Chris Plunkett Newsletter No Comments

January, the first month of the year — or as I’ve seen it called, a giant Monday. Call me crazy, but I don’t think a case of the Mondays is all that bad. It’s a time for looking ahead, sharpening pencils, drawing up goals, and setting your sights. We’re targeting more growth (and ditching the TPS reports).
