Sorry about the delay. Could be that the holiday spirit overtook me or I was shopping. Whatever, I didn't get to the post until this morning. Good thing I took a day off work so I can work on the post this morning. Not too much going on due to the aforementioned holidays, so I'll just finish this up (I started on Tuesday) and get it up on the site.... I hope you and yours are having a great holiday season!
