Office moved

After a very long Thursday, and a hectic Friday, we are moved. A majority of the work fell on me and the office manager, Karen, so the two of us are especially glad everything’s over here now. Some photos of the (empty) new office space are at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brianhart/sets/72157603227154938/ This suite is about 2700 sq. ft. [...]
