I’d like to take a moment and recognize a milestone for this blog. Sometime this week thanks to everyone who clicks the link, or types the URL to read this blog, it will pass 1000 page views. So to everyone who reads this blog and my two bits, from Singapore to France, to my friends, and readers in the United States, and everyone in between, I don’t know who all of you might be, but thank you for reading my posts.

Surfs up!.........................................Eric
