Retirement

In case any of you are still visiting...you may have noticed a lack of activity.  A variety of issues have happened over the last few years.  It basically has come time to simply declare that I'm retired. So...I'm retired. 

There are going to be a couple of "evergreen" on-demand programs available.  And I'll leave these blogs up. 

Thanks for your readership and support over the years.
