Fun Friday Favorites: Speaking engagements, books, and other great things!

Hello dear friends! It's been a CrAzY week with us running every which way but loose. Or maybe that was just a movie back in the late '70s. Whatever. That is how I felt. Running here and there and everywhere. I don't foresee it getting better until the end of April. Somebody hold me. I'll jump ...
