Links of the Week:
This week’s links are all New York, Toronto and Scriptus 2018-centric. I landed back in Kansas City on Monday night (almost Tuesday morning) and wet right back to work. And today, I have company coming to town – all the way from Australia. So it will be Sunday before I can publish my own round-up of the epic trip to New York and Toronto. So, hopefully, these links will sate your appetite for detail until then.
