posts the last few weeks.\u00a0 My free time has been consumed recently by my job.\u00a0 We&#8217;re short staffed and training new folks where I work, so I&#8217;ve been putting in lots of extra hours.\u00a0 The internet outage at home for several days this week didn&#8217;t help either.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, please bear with me for a little longer.\u00a0 I imagine postings in June will be a bit sporadic also, however, starting in July I hope to be\u00a0back to normal.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve got plans to do a Blue Devil Week in June, featuring the very first ONCE UPON A GEEK interview!\u00a0 So stay tuned.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3
