I have now been blogging for one year-I can’t believe it.  I talked about starting a personal finance blog since I started reading pf blogs in late ‘06.  I must express my gratitude for Tricia,whom I knew from Sunshine Rewards, but is a new media powerhouse of her own accord.  I also thank my fellow [...]
