Updates Monday Morning

We had the last of the family Christmases last night. So, no updates were planned. But, naturally during true middle of the party a corrupt file brought down the site. I properly ignored the problem and enjoyed myself anyway (as you can see below).

Everything is working correctly now. Even I am functioning pretty well 🙂
