Backsliding
Here is my alibi…or, to be more correct, my alibis. First, I am in the process of winding down one job assignment, and moving on to a new one. This coming Thursday will be my last day at the soon-to-be-closed … Continue reading
Of Late…
Work has progressed quite nicely on The Althing. I continue to get new content loaded on a regular basis. In some respects, it’s like doing genealogical research (something I’ve engaged in for over thirty years), in that I can never … Continue reading
