I would like to extend a big thanks to the folks at Protein Wisdom. Not only are they folks I love to read, but they have been kind and generous enough to buy my blogspot banner. I really appreciate it, and for those of you have ventured into my archives or have read this site for a few weeks, you know how much I appreciate their work. Please, if you get nothing else out of this website, go to their site and check out their take on issues.
