Got a window to purchase tickets for the LA28 Summer Games. But with these ticket prices, I think we’ll be watching from afar, like we always do. 😔
What do you do when you see a negative or bad-news post from someone, and you agree with their take that the situation is bad, but liking the post doesn’t seem like the right light-weight signal?
Here’s to the incredible cast of characters Adaptive Path pulled together 25 years ago. What a team. What a mission.
