This week's Post of the Week is all about a sarcastic response I got when I asked a friend how they were doing.   It made me think about what that person was really thinking and feeling and what we think and feel when our work is not aligned to who we are or what we want.  

This week also includes my review of the new Pixel 4XL cell phone.   Don't let other reviews scare you.  This is one amazing phone, listen to find out what makes it so great and the one little thing that isn't great.
