Second, my goal is a quick catch up and there have been some major events in my life that I’m hop-step-jumping over for now. Indicators will be in some of the new posts but the time to write more fully about these events isn’t now.
Third – I’ll be backdating some articles in time with when I wrote them so don’t worry that something has gone wrong! Unless it does of course… that’s altogether different 😉
