Still on the realtime journey, just another adventure

Steno Wizard is no longer captioning, though it was a very valuable experience that I highly recommend any steno realtime writer to explore.  

In January of this year, Steno Wizard was offered a position in federal court within 45 minutes of home and couldn't say no.  

Realtime is definitely the difference maker in securing the federal court position, so onward and upward I go!

Here's some briefs I've been incorporating very recently.  Perhaps you've already known them, but regardless I'll share...
