@Microsoft Teams needs filters more than it needs creepy fake empty room and tropical beach backgrounds and I know I’m not the first person to think this.

@Delta airplane was grounded today. Caused me to miss my flight. Great app allowed me to rebook on a later flight! Until it gave away my seat and now I'm stranded in Atlanta with @Delta telling me my only option is to get myself home from Dayton, Ohio.

My two-year-old is dissecting a banana at the dinner table. When I asked what she was doing she said, "Science, Mama." #toddlers

@Kenny_Colston @bradluttrell I'm electronic for daily/breaking news but love, love, love a good news magazine w/ in depth stories/pictures for bigger enterprise stories

[Blair Thomas Hess @BlairThomHess]

@Kenny_Colston @bradluttrell Blame the fair for my tardiness, but this happens to be the one time I may agree with @bradluttrell (write down this date).

[Blair Thomas Hess @BlairThomHess]

@CameronMorgan #climatechange No denying our climate IS CHANGING. It's always changing—otherwise, we'd still be covered in ice. Now to "debate" the cause..
