First thing I want to do is give a big thanks to Nick for covering Beyond Co-Op for the past few weeks. Things have been so hectic for me (the list is too long and no need to bore you) that it didn’t give me a chance to sit down and work on finding news and get this posted for a few weeks. Now it’s time to settle back into the groove, although Thanksgiving weekend may be hard with my brother-in-laws wedding.
