I read the full article of this at examiner.com. Good stuff, keep it up and sorry to hear about the tennis incident.
Thanks Thomas. This new job I've taken on is overwhelming. Like anything in life, I'm confident with repitition it'll work out. Great crew here as well. Hope everything is going well and need to check up on your articles you've posted as well. Don't have access to a computer, since I'm staying in a motel before settling into an apartment here. I'll be back in Augusta this weekend and hope to see what's been going on with you. On lunch hour now. Take care.
