Yesterday marked the end of seven years at ArgonST. Today, I will begin driving to Baton Rouge with a stop in Arkansas, so I hope to be there Wednesday at the latest. I've told Habitat of Greater Baton Rouge that I will be at their office on Thursday.

I'm grateful that my company has allowed me the year off to go pursue this opportunity. It wasn't a decision I made lightly, but deliberately - and my company and many of its employees has earned greater respect from me because of their wishes.
