We of the human race are dreamers. But some are doers.
Some are content to dream, but never do while others not only dream, but do. Those that do often become rich while those that only dream continue to live in their dream world and remain stagnant, and often poor.

It has been awhile since I made an update to this blog, a year in fact. What started off as a change to the main website, an update, has become something else.
