I had a wonderful time last week at a United In Purpose Technologies Summit. (Even writing that last line makes me want to laugh out loud.

On any given day of the week, you’ll find my boys in Red Sox t-shirts. They know the Red Sox stats. They know who’s pitching each game. They know who’s “hot” and who’s having a “dry spell”. My boys love the Red Sox! Do you know why? It’s because their dad and I…
