As I wait for some large SAS computations, there's no better time for an update. I've done nothing particularly exciting this weekend. I've had the absolute pleasure of following my husband wherever he likes, mostly including a drive to Chattanooga to visit the in-laws, and my awesome brother -in-law and sister-in-law. He deserves more time but … Continue reading It’s not a lazy weekend; it’s just the calm before the storm
