Happy freakin Friday.  Sheesh, can I just tell you… it’s been one of those days… where technology just doesn’t seem to want to work no matter what you do to try and figure it out.  Usually I’d blame Mercury for this one, but the planet isn’t even in retrograde, and other than the fact that it IS Friday, maybe technology (i.e. iPhones, apps, computers) wants a little break… which who can blame it, but when...
