Awesome Outlook strategy videos
A teammate of ours, who will remain nameless, shared two great tutorial videos on how to improve one's usage of Outlook. I watched them and thought they offered great tips. I learned several new-to-me features, too!

Alex's Trip
Several of you have asked about my trip in March, so I will share a little bit here.
It was great. I started off in Paris. I went to the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, Norte Dame, Palace of Versailles, Pantheon, and many other neat places. I ate a lot of croissants and macaroons!
I then flew to Florance. While there, I took a bus ride into the Tuscany region and visited Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa. Visited Il Duomo and Galleria dell' Accademia in Florence.
After just three days, we took a train to Rome, where we visited the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the Roman Forum, and made handmade pasta and tiramisu (with a cooking class) for dinner one night.
I consumed a copious amount of carbs while on this trip! However, I walked many, many miles each day so I felt justified in my eating.
I have tons of pictures, but I will share a couple of my favorites below.
