Greetings!
Well, it's been a busy month. I was in West Virginia for the first week of August as a chaperone for our
my church youth group. It was a great time, but not conducive to getting a lot of work done. Then I spent what seems the remainder of the month preparing for my first training seminar in Texas (Austin on August 27th). That went great as well, but the preparation of the material took a huge drain on the rest of my time. So, this newsletter is few articles short, but I think you will find them very interesting and informative.
