Welcome to my brand new website!  Here I will be able to post blogs and chat with you guys and gals from just about anywhere!  I look forward to being able to personally interact with everyone on a more regular basis!  So tell all your friends about the new website and let them know about our new "Bloggin' with Bates" page!  Tell them we'll be talking abut stuff here that no one else will know, at least not for a few hours anyway!  ;-)
Love,
Jeff
