I missed Blogger!

Well, I've given this some thought and decided that I do, indeed, miss Blogger. I still have my author blog at http://www.blog.bevwaltonporter.com, but I'm going to use this is a mirror blog of that one. So I'm opening this baby back up and keeping it going for an undetermined time in the future.
