@tracyplayle I wonder how much it has to do with making different family members' favorite dishes / nostalgia / catering to kids so that they eat more than just pie and pretend it was nutritious-ish. (We also make everything pumpkin spice so we're not to be trusted.)

"Even in the face of huge amounts of data, it still pays off to make decisions, to be an expert in what you're doing and take risks. Because in the end, it's not data, it's risks that will land you on the right end of the curve." https://t.co/AHzil9BJMr

"Can I help you?" is a closed question. "How can I help?" is a real question - makes people more comfortable; makes me feel more helpful @annehaines #ConfabEDU

Love all the questions that @annehaines is sharing. Trying to come up with answers for "If there was a book with all the information that you need, what would it be called?"
