I am going to put update posts on hiatus for about three weeks. I am getting ready to go away and my internet connection situation is uncertain during that time. No matter what I will resume challenge posts when I get back as they are about the only thing that is even close to keeping me on track right now.
It is possible I will post but it will be even fewer and further between than my "stellar" efforts recently. Bare with me if you can, I know that the general lack of content here over the last 6 months is loosing me many of the few regular readers that I had.
