Oh blog, how I have neglected you!  Actually I have neglected my computer for almost a week now.  I think it sat in my bag for 2 or 3 days and has been sitting on my table for several days.  
But now it's out, open, and charged so maybe the neglect will end.  I really do have quite a bit to blog about but have just been in a funk lately.  
So I declare a snapping out of the funk!
