Most of my family lives on the other side of the country. While I don’t want to give up my southwest US lifestyle (and weather), I do compromise and head east for some holidays as I can afford the airfare. This year was time for Christmas in Ohio.

I used to think of the PD or professional development week each may to be a waste of time. However, over the last few years, with a growing number of us working remotely, it is really nice to get to meet and...
