Update Blog

It's interesting how a week off can through your whole balance off. I admit, I have been fooling around with updating my blog. I should have not procrastinated and so I apologize. Hopefully, I haven't ran off the few folks who took an interest to my blog. Later this week I will make it up to you with a REAL business blog post. Until then, have a good day!
