Dating stats for 2025 so far

Hiring Help, Part 4 – reflecting on the impact of blogging on the process
Great news - I HAVE A PA! I've had her for over a month. After all my years of struggle with finding someone, I was feeling low on confidence that she'd stick around, but now it feels that enough time has passed for it to…
