    Thanks, I had a great day of skiing in Maine, then drove the long drive home from the Mountain, Sugarloaf. I had the best professional development class, in the car, sunny day and the time flew! Thanks for the informative workshop. Keep posting, I’ll keep listening.Cheryl

    Thanks for the feedback. I have heard from some folks that they want shorter podcasts, and I am going to get back to doing more in the 15-20 min range, but especially for people in the car or on a trip I am thinking it’s still good to have longer recordings. Glad to know you both listened and found it worthwhile.
