Hi Guys, I haven't been as active as in past years and I figured I'll explain why.

I'm not going to go into details but I've been having health issues for several years but managed to bull my way through it.
Unfortunately my age (only 56 but I'm pretty broken) is catching up with me and things have gotten more difficult. Between nerve pain and tremors it has been
increasingly difficult to maintain an online presence as sitting for long periods is painful on the joints. the tremors make typing/coding
somewhat frustrating at times. I'm managed to keep working but it takes a lot out of me. Unfortunately I was recently laid off. This makes things financially difficult as
you can imagine. On the plus side, while the job hunt progresses it means I can spend more time on the site. Since the transition has left a plethora of bugged pages
I will be work on sorting them out.

Thank you for the patience and loyalty you have shown for nearly 30 years.
