Happy Friday,
I’m watching the steam roll off my cup of coffee, believing (hoping) that inspiration for today’s Friday Five might also drift up and into my brain. It’s been a busy week, however, and the muse is elusive. Live to fight another day. Here’s the Friday 5!
Cheers,
Matt

How’s your thinking?
I’m always trying to improve my critical thinking skills. There are plenty of courses for this, and it’s always good to review logical fallacies you might be making or, more likely, your colleagues and friends. Right? 😉
