	07-21-04 Hello Everyone! It's been almost 4 years since I have regularly published articles on this site, that's quite a long time. I stopped updating the site due to the fact that I really did not have the time to maintain the site and supply you with fresh information. However, due to the fact that the amount of people signing on to the web keeps growing every year, I decided to leave the site active as a source of information for new readers. From time to time over the past few years, I have logged onto the site myself to check the hit counter and read the hundreds of comments from all of those wonderful people that signed my guestbook. My last visit to the site was just a few weeks ago, and when I checked my guestbook, I was just amazed at how many recent posts were in the book. After all this time I found it hard to believe that there were still so many people coming to my site even though I have not put up a single new article in years. Well it was really overwhelming to realize just how many people are still finding their way here, and made me start to ponder the idea of reviving the site and I have to say that it did not take me long to make my decision. Over the next few months I will be re-designing all of the current pages on the site and once that is complete, I will start posting new articles, so bear with me and I promise some really good NEW additions to the articles already here.
