There has been alot of stress in my life as of late. With my company growing and me writing more code then I have time it has been hard to find a way to relieve some stress. One of the things I have started doing is taking care of my garden. Yes I have a small garden that produces wonderful goodness in the form of food. But what it really does is makes it easier to get through a week.

I have also been working on a side project that has been alot of fun. Check it out www.thefamilyfile.org.
