Hello from 35,000 feet. I’m on my way to New York for a quick business trip. I trust I’ll be back home, though, by the end of the day tomorrow.
Who would have thought a little story on a peacock would have gained so much attention? It has been quite awhile since one of my stories truly went “viral” but this was one of them. While a great week for the blog in terms of traffic, the aftermath of the story kept me too busy to finish several trip reports I was looking forward to publishing. Hopefully those will come this week.
In the meantime, here’s a review of the week’s top stories. I wish each of you a wonderful week ahead.
