Eternal tension: what works to recruit may not work to expand. And the balance is a strategic choice... Except, nowadays, who's making them?

I am a constitutionally cheery person, I swear. I am getting a bad reputation. But good morning! Life is full of miracles. :-D

Steel cut oats with avocado and sriracha or sauteed mushrooms and shallots are my favorites.
