The Man Behind the Curtain

One of our dear readers wanted to know who authors these blog entries. You can find the answer at the end of each entry in the lower left hand corner. In most cases the line reads, “Posted by Chris P.” Our reader highlights a valid point however. Many of you know me, but some of you do not. So, click here if you’d like to read a quick blurb about the man behind the curtain. Or, for something more exciting, watch the video below. It offers a rare opportunity to watch Chris P. come out of his box.
