Feels great to get your mom discharged from the rehab hospital after a battle with pneumonia and back to something closer to normal on Mother’s Day. She is sitting in her chair knitting, which she enjoys. And she had a chocolate covered cherry, which is one of her favorites.

20 years! Congrats to Chris Kennelly and Kennetic Productions on their 20th anniversary. Great party, Keagan!

Kennetic’s technical proficiency and creative work has been essential to making TEDxJacksonville videos stand out in the crowd globally. You should hire them.
