I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I will not be able to maintain my blog for about two weeks hence. Going to check out Greece, Italy and France then home on the 21st. I will be posting again on the 22nd.

I cannot overstate how important each reader is. The challenge to improve my blog has been a saving grace in the last  year. It has literally saved my sanity through some difficulties.. So thank you, peruse my postings if you wish and I will see you in a couple of weeks.

John
