A Brief Update

When I restarted the blog, I was serious. I really do intend to write a lot in the near future. The hick-up in consistency is completely my fault... basically, work came to me the first week of February and said they would spend a whole bunch of money for me to take a certification exam on March 10th if I was interested.

I said yes.

Then the rule of three came fast and furious. Basically, three different family members had three very different, serious health problems over a three week period. Things are better now, but I am cramming for a test I will either pass because I'm both lucky and brilliant, or fail because I did not commit the time one would normally commit to be successful. Given the circumstances, I choose to be thankful health has returned to my family, and I'll live with the test results.

So forgive me while I cram work and studies through Friday, and appease me just once as I rant in the other post today. Things will get back to normal next week, or at least that's the plan.

Thank you for your patience.

V/r,

Raymond
