@DownToBlack Call me crazy but I’m buying the Raps because they have the only management team that I’d fully trust to navigate the challenges and variance all three face.

@stateofthecity Better question: why are you wearing shirts that require ironing?

[Jeff Parker @jeffparkerphd]

A life of leadership and service that should inspire us all. God save the King.

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.

The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

@nejatian Congrats Kaz! Very exciting and well-deserved!

[Jeff Parker @jeffparkerphd]

@Justynki @VictorFedeli Congrats Justyna! You made a big difference! Enjoy “retirement”!

[Jeff Parker @jeffparkerphd]

@stateofthecity I ask myself this every day.

[Jeff Parker @jeffparkerphd]

Accurate.
