i have finally given in...therefore I blog.

Yep. This is my first blog post ever. I have never even commented on someone else's post before. To set the tone for my blog and illustrate my style I will share a simple *fictional* story.

One day a very well-known scientist decided he was going to determine what made frogs jump. He acquired a frog for his testing and set the frog on the ground. He then yelled in a loud voice, "JUMP!". The frog jumped and he documented the distance the frog jumped along with other details from this first experiment. He then cut off one of the frog's back legs and again yelled, "JUMP!" The frog jumped and he documented how far the frog jumped taking notice it was only half as far as the first test. The scientist then cut off the other back leg set the frog down and yelled, "JUMP!" The frog didn't move. A little puzzled, the scientist still recorded his findings. After careful determination, the scientist concluded that if you cut off both back legs of a frog, it causes them to lose their ability to hear.

My point you ask? In the midst of a problem or challenge it is easy to overlook the ‘basics’ that end up being somewhat obvious in the end. I hope my thoughts and information I share with you is valuable, correct, and occassionaly humorous.
