My Ass-umptions!
1. Moving II forward is about leadership and change management

So what do I have against research and data?Absolutely nothing.
Why do you think your findings always take so long to be taken seriously?

Buster sat on my lap, hugged me and turned my
face towards his to look into my eyes for the first time this morning, just to be
together, not because he wanted something. WOW! … Please tell me this new
Buster is here to stay, I am scared to believe he is, it
would just be so hard to go back to the way he was.
