Infrequent updates of my busy life …
It’s been awhile, I haven’t blogged in ages or almost since I started at EA. I must say that I missed as I want to keep this up to date with life events and experiences. So, now I’ve updated the site to WordPress with all its bells and whistles and we’ll make another go at…
