I missed posting last week because I have been neck deep in a server migration/upgrade for a client that has been attacked continually by Murphy’s laws. Thankfully we are turning a corner on that.
Weather has been getting colder as have my cold showers 
I hope you find this mashup to be extra full and special.
Have a great weekend!

Hi David,
Thanks for coming by. I thought your post about sleeping in a hammock was great. I had always considered hammocks to be a bit of a novelty. The points you brought up made a lot of sense. It is on my list of things to try now.
