Healthcare, 3-d, and Still Writing
So much happens in the world. Everyday. There’s a person ready to either stand up for a cause or stamp it out for just about every event that happens. Some big, some small.

Third Millennium TVs
This past week has found the family entering the twenty-first century in terms of television: that’s right, we now are finally switching from CRT to LCD. Starting a few weeks ago, two of our TVs started their death throws.
