We wouldn’t be a blog if we didn’t share our year-end opinions with you. After all, our opinions matter. Period. Exclamation point. Additional punctuation marks, as necessary.
So, we offer the First Annual “RaJe Awards” (you can figure it out … Ray, Jeff … and it’s pronounced “rage” just because). So, without further commentary, let’s get on to our outRaJeous selections. The envelope please (OK, totally unnecessary, but it seemed appropriate).
