Monday Morning Links

I hope everyone had a great weekend! August has been more or less lost for me. Between a handful of clients and the whole office makeover, I haven't seen the beach in too long! Although it's a real blow-off week for most, I'll be working to get some content up nonetheless. I'll probably write an article on the state of the LIC market and the challenge presented by new inventory coming on line. In the meantime, here are a load of links:
