Send warm thoughts

I’ve been offline this morning to support a friend and reader of the site. Doug follows our mobile tech adventures here and has sadly lost his father unexpectedly. Barb and I are waiting for the procession to the cemetery but I thought to ask you, our community, to pass a warm wish for Doug on this sad day. I know he’ll appreciate your warm thoughts later on today when he gets home.
