Cold meds and web dev do NOT mix…
Well, I decided while sick with this dang cold to upgrade my LesliRichardson.com site software. Bad move. And I KNEW better. I think it was the cold meds talking.

Performance Anxiety
So the good news is that “Love and Brimstone” is getting great reviews. The bad news is I’m ripping my hair out now over the sequel. Not because the story isn’t coming together, because it is. Frankly, I think it’s a good book. But… Now I sit and look at it and think, is it … Read More
