Thankful Thursday: Grateful for Science

Sometimes, life feels like a constant rodeo that you have been touring with for years.  Even when you get thrown from the bull or you are anticipating the biggest ride of your life, it doesn’t always register as a blip on your radar.  I spoke with G this week for a long time about the…
