I have spent the last few minutes trying to come up with a good excuse to why I haven’t posted in the past few weeks. Early January was excusable. I was snowboarding in Lake Tahoe from Jan 2^nd to the 9^th. Just before I left my hard drive crashed. I didn’t have time for diagnosis during the holiday season,so I didn’t get around to getting a replacement from Dell until after my trip. After the new hard drive arrived my memory went corrupt. It took several days to figure that out and get replacements. That covers early January,the rest is inexcusable. I made a promise to myself today to get back on track and post more. So here is my triumphant return!
