Catching Up!

Webmaster note:  I know everyone has been waiting for me to post these brags & gripes for way too long.  I have been toying with various ideas for ways to post where we can send congratulations and comment.  I am now going attempt this blog format.  To spend the least amount of time with technical/geeky complications, I am unable to post all the back brags and gripes individually.  I will post them now all at once divided by date.  Expect updates to this entry as I find the missing meetings.  Sometimes, I don't end up with the written page after the meetings.  I appreciate everyone's patience with this.
