Well, I finally got back on my exercise bike today. I’ve been off since Dec. 28. Getting sick and then spending 10 days in India, and then recuperating from no sleep and finally getting over my illness have wreaked havoc on my exercise routine. Here’s to a new year of exercise!

Whew! Finally a reliable (and fast) network connection. I’m just back from my 10 day trip to India, and it was nearly impossible to find a reliable, stable and fast network connection in any of the places we stayed.

I don’t lack ideas, I do find it challenging to set aside time to write regularly. We’ll see… Continue Reading 1 Year Update
I’ve been displaying selected photos in a one-at-a-time or slideshow format in the sidebar of my site for awhile now. I’ve been rotating the album every 3-6 months. As I get more albums uploaded, I’ll switch out the albums more often.
