Hello and welcome to best laid plans.

This is your host, Sarah Hart Unger, and this is a podcast where we talk all things planning

on paper to be extremely packed, but I don't know, as things unfolded, it did feel

pretty manageable compared to some years past. This probably is helped by the fact that, well,
