As some of you may have noticed, something unique happened last week.  I missed my first post in the history of the site.  I've always been very reliable about posting updates, and I've always taken pride in never missing a post.  Last week was a first for me.

Sadly, I'm starting to realize that I no longer have the time that I once did.  My time has become consumed with more pressing pursuits lately, and I simply don't have time to write the quality and quantity that I would prefer.  I've put a lot of time into Hydroponics Tuesday.  I regret that I no longer have the luxury of copious free time. 

However, there is a bit more to the story...

That's an ultrasound image... After several years of attempts, it looks like we're going to have a child. Our best guess for the due-date will be in March, 2009.  We plan on moving to a larger home before too much longer, so that we have plenty of space when our new family member arrives.  We have a lot to do in the coming months.

We're looking at a lot of changes in the new future, and I realize in advance that I won't be able to maintain Hydroponics Tuesday at the same level that I've done in the past.  I have no intention of shutting down the site, but I also know that I won't be able to post at the same frequency that I have in the past.

This is an invitation to the regulars here at the site... If you've ever wanted to contribute to the community, it's an opportune time to start.  I'll try to continue posting, but guest editors are more than welcome to join the party.  I'll be posting higher resolution scans of the ultrasound on our personal site, www.barnyardbbs.com.  Best wishes to all.
