Well, a lot of things have been going on in my life lately, but not much to blog about.  I've been swamped at work and at home, but I hope to be back at the blogging machine from now on.

Over the last several weeks, I have decided to make some changes in my life and career that will have longlasting and (hopefully) beneficial effect on my family.  Yesterday was my last day with my previous employer and I've moved on to be an independent consultant.  This change means that I will be able to spend more time with my family (which is always a bonus) as well as work from home.  I will also be able to spend more time devoted to things that I have been slacking on over the years.

Leaving a steady job and income to the wild unknown is not something that I take lightly.  It was in many respects a very difficult decision to make and I left behind a lot of what I worked for over the years - though it could be said that all that I worked for over the years has led me to this.

Here's to new beginnings and a prosperous future!
