I’ve been away for a while mainly because I was feeling not-so-bloggy, but also because I was in an epic battle with my computer. Ms. HP liked to play this fun little game where she only turned-on every 3 or 4 days. So instead of perpetuating a ridiculous game of World-of-Warcraft Technology-Edition, I waved the [...]
