Friday Hoddle of Coffee, So Long, Farewell Edition, September 15, 2017

Hey all—so this is my final Hoddle. I have some big work projects coming up in the immediate future and need to free up as much time as I can to do those. So I’m handing the Hoddle off to someone else, who you’ll meet on Monday. I’ve really enjoyed doing this and I hope you have as well. It’s been fun. I’ll still try to drop by as I’m able. :)
