I will be the first to admit, I do not blog that much.  Unfortunately, work and life sometimes get in the way.  As we start 2021, I am going to make an effort to add more to this blog.  With this increased effort in blogging, I will also be increasing the topics that I will cover.  While I will still be covering Business Intelligence and Power BI, I will also be covering topics on Power Platform and Microsoft Dynamics 365.
