Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

It's been several weeks since I had the oppertunity to blog. I've been a victum of holiday madness which has kidnapped all my free time, leaving me with no outs. I have much I want to talk about but the madness has not stopped, I must travel to visit family and I plan to leave in an hour. Before I go, I just wanted to wish everyone a great holiday weekend and a wonderful New Year. Hopefully Santa brings you a pair of those unbreakable pocket-aces this year.

Cheers all!

Rest In Peace
