  • Password

    “I’ll think about it,” Bryan says reluctantly. “C’mon,” I wheedle. “It works for everybody. I get occasional blog posts with actual content, you get credits to maintain your certification.” He grimaces and leans back, looking out the window. “I wouldn’t get credits unless I was the actual author.
