On April 19th I met my sister in Ithaca, NY. She is a graduate of Cornell University, and has made many visits since then. We were going to the ACNARGS meeting in the afternoon, but first she wanted to show me a few of her favorite places.
One of the places she wanted to take me […]

Creating a Subtotal
The first thing you need to do […]
