Let me start by...

thanking the powers that be for allowing such as novice like myself to be a guest blogger. (For those who don't know me please see the recent posting of photos taken during the Rodina anniversary celebration and you'll see my many faces.) I come to you via the technology of dial up. While I've never blogged before I did promise to keep it clean for the sake of those who may be viewing the site. However, I cannont say things might not get a little colorful after a couple of evening cocktails. Stay tuned people.
