❤️ After so many down years post Jordan, Derrick brought so much hope to the Bulls, Chicago, and the sport. Went to so many games, absolutely loved watching him play. What a team in that era, too. So much heart. Wonderful memories.

I don't know if it's better, I don't know if it's worse. I don't know if it makes sense, I don't know if it doesn't. I do know I like it, and that's enough.

Lots of schools, teachers, home schoolers, and university departments use Basecamp. This is a great look at how they do and how yours could. And remember, Basecamp is free for teachers and students.
basecamp.com
Basecamp offers free accounts for teachers and students, and discounted accounts for non-profits.
Calling all educators! 📚 Curious how schools use Basecamp? Join us live this Wednesday, August 20th at 2 PM PT / 4 PM CT. We'll be joined by a school principal who’ll share how his team uses Basecamp to stay organized and connected. Save your spot!.

Guilty as charged.
@37signals must be using Jedi mind tricks on me. Somehow, they read my mind and then tailor Hey Email to be my dream email app. It's been going on for a couple of years now.

One of my favorite books too.
Adler's wildly empowering wisdom from The Courage To Be Disliked is that we all have the capacity to choose to be different every day. Choose to stop blaming the world for our shortcomings, choose to be happy. It's a radical liberation to embrace.
