All around us, we are encouraged to be positive, and that is predominantly a good thing.

Today's episode is a bit divergent from our "norm". Today, we get to hear about Bill's recent trip to Scotland with his family. Bill's family shares a rich Scottish heritage, which made this journey across the pond one that meant much more than a vacation.
