I learned three lessons from my experiences; vacations are essential, backing up your hard drive is essential, and fifty isn’t as bad as I thought it would be (so far). While vacation and birthday [...]

A slow month…sort of

Well, April’s been a bit of a disappointment. I was riding high from the first three months of the year, hoping to carry that momentum into April. Alas, it was not to be. No sales this month, although the month’s not over. Still, I’m ahead of last year sales wise and I have a couple [...]
