Better late than never, but never late is better.

 
 
Hello everyone--
Simply put, I just didn't get a chance to write a blog entry last week, for which I apologize. It may seem silly to write about it now, I suppose, but it provides a record of what was (hopefully) accomplished, which is good. 

I'll keep it short.
