NOTE: Owing to my added responsibilities as sales representative for 99.3 Moose FM, my blogging will not be able to be as regular as it once was. Daily blogging has not been possible as I transition but the hope is that it will be again once I get used to it. In the meantime, I will blog when my schedule permits, but at least once a week.
