Sorry for the long absence...

Dear all: Sorry for the long absence. Yes, I am still alive. Things have just been a bit too hectic lately, so I haven't been coming here to update this very much. I guess the latest financial Tsunami is getting everyone crazy too. It's pretty depressing and chaotic out there. But I also can't help thinking that we are living in a very unique era that probably no one has experienced before. Stay tuned... I promise that I will be good and start to write more very soon.
