So is the future. But whenever I an invited to create a learning space, if I can also make it a good living space, it has merit no matter how bleak the future looks.<BR/><BR/>"In here" is not "out there." Right. So... let's do something meaningful in here.<BR/><BR/>:)Wendell Drydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553873036366356241noreply@blogger.com
