Hello faithful readers!
My planned travels have come to an end. The marathon weekend, in which I presented at three different state conferences, went better than I had hoped. Champaign, Illinois then Jamesburg, New Jersey and finally Baltimore, Maryland.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” ~ Mark Twain

For those of you who actually read my blog, I apologize that I have fallen a bit behind.
So what’s been happening lately? Wow, a lot.

First of all, a small disclaimer – I am not a hardcore techno-geek. I like shiny new toys as much as the next person, but they aren’t the end all, be all of life. I am just as happy working with the earth as I am the latest software programs.
