Nick, I am a first time visitor to your blog. I am familiar with employeescreenIQ, but hadn’t had the pleasure of visiting this resource until now.
BTW, your post and “TWIB” took me back to the days of Mel Allen and “This Week in Baseball.”
Anyway, I plan and look forward to being a regular visitor and commenter on your site. Thanks.
