I've decided to come back to blogging, but I'm not doing it here. I'll keep my account, and I'll still look at my friends page like I do most every day, but if you're curious as to what I might be thinking and writing, you'll have to go here: http://1mrchristopher.blogspot.com/

Definitely getting the winter blues, which leaves me thinking about that which was and is no more, that which wasn't but might have been, and all the things I could/should have done differently to date.

Been getting quite a bit done today. Taken 4 support calls - went out on two of them. Came back to the office and cleaned up the work room, as well as getting all of the ewaste for the ecycle event tomorrow gathered up.
