Dear Subscribers
Dear Subscribers -
Due to technical difficulties, I was not able to send my blog for last weekend (March 16 - 17, 2024). Please accept my apologies. I am in the process of having technicians look at the reasons for this situation and ask that you bear with me while it is being fixed.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter,
