Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
When I was growing up, we spent quite a bit of time on Denman and Hornby Islands because my parents have a little piece of land on Denman. I hadn't been there since 1999 until this passed weekend. It was remarkable how much I remembered and how much the islands lived up to my memory. …
{Mark Styler photo.} I've been a bad blogger lately. Mostly though, I've just been enjoying summer! This weekend we went to Denman Island, where my parents have a small piece of land. It was a great time! More photos soon, promise.
