Taking A Break

My genealogy blogging has slowed to a snail's pace lately, and I think it's time that I take a break from the blog for awhile.

I'm in the midst of my final research project for my MBA, and the time constraint is just too much to handle at this point.

The good news is that I have a lot of new research and ideas for blog posts, the bad news is that it will have to be until September until I can get back to posting.
