And so here we are. The 100th review. What a journey it has been these last 2 and a half years and I am looking forward to hitting many more milestones on this wonderful journey. But let’s leave that for later and concentrate on the now. Before I begin my review, I would like to […]

In all honesty, I have been putting this review off for far too long now, primarily due to its significance and […]
