+1 Unlimited vacation is definitely overrated. Most folks end up not using any of it and zero cash out benefits don't help either. Its good for the company but not for the employee. #wellness #VacationTime

Disney “Strange World” was great.

Latvians, once again, surprising me with their efficiency. Building permit approved in 2 weeks. 2 weeks that included xmas and new year.
