It has been awhile since I last posted.

It has been awhile since I last posted. Much has happened. Yellowbird Marketing has shrunk in size. Mike and I have changed directions, now pursuing other avenues of enrichment. I have returned to continuing my career as a professional Project Manager. Mike has gone back to managing software installation. I am going to start adding more to my blog, kind of a new years resolution for 2013. I plan to discuss mostly project management and business system analysis topics, throwing in the occasional personal and political/economic items of interest. I currently work as a contract project manager for RCG Global Services and I’m assigned to Abbott Labs managing two web site projects. This contract ends this month. More later.
