Yeah, it was just one of those weeks, Friends...I had a bunch of things going on this week and don't have much of an intro for you in this edition...my apologies.Please keep the feedback coming though -- I've connected with a number of you over the last few weeks in a bunch of capacities and really appreciate the comments about the FoD. If you have any suggestions or ideas for content (including interesting sites/people for me to follow on social media), features you like, or features you don't like in the newsletter, I'd love for you to drop me a line. I'm always looking to make improvements and keep things fresh. If nothing else, it will give us an excuse to catch up before year end. Finally, I have to pass this along: one of you (who shall remain nameless) recently shared with me that you look forward to reading the Friends of Dave newsletter as a cure for when you have a weekend hangover. I'm going on record and saying that this might have been THE NICEST thing anyone has said about work that I have done since my Mom agreed that the acorn person I drew as a Christmas gift for her when I was in 2nd grade looked just like her....With that, I hope you enjoy the links below. As the year winds down we'll try to keep it on the light side. And once again expect a recap of the most clicked on stories from the past year coming the last week of December or first week of January in case you missed them.XOXODave
