Michael Warchol 11/17/2017 6:49 AMI'm grateful for all of our partners on campus who contributed to #URGoesDanish, the great weather we had that allowed us to be outside in November, and for my wife who handled our munchkins like a boss while I worked late each night this week (I have a feeling I'll have to repay that time this weekend, but there are worse things)!-
