Catching Up


I haven’t been around on my Blogs too much of late, so I have a lot of catching up to do. The reason for my absence has to do with my usual Internet problems – poor connectivity, etc. Finally my wireless modem died and ADSL became available in my area, so I have now upgraded and connectivity issues should now all be a matter of the past. Better and better times ahead I hope.
