    Episode 285 – Boring Week, Anne “Tyrrlin” Williams
    byKevin Sonney

    Apologies for the mic issues in the opening discussion, I have no idea what happened there. This week in our productivity updates we have a normal, not very exciting, and typical week. This is a good thing! We also talk about Ursula’s soon-to-be-updated eyeglasses, Kevin’s hurry-up-and-wait time fillers, an update on our planned trip to HI, and a chicken update. After that, we have a catch-up interview with Anne “Tyrrlin” Williams!
