It's Been WAAAAY Too Long!!!

Hi, my name is Mark....That's really what I feel like doing at this point. Systems are down at work and there is a precious window that I don't get much anymore to get back into blog-land and touch base. It has been way too long and I apologize for not keeping up on the activities of my dear e-friends. I think things are settling down for a bit, so hopefully this will change. Those of you who are still checking me out every once in a while, thanks for your patience! I guess I'll start by posting updates from various categories of my life. Here we go....
