Hi Mike,
Thanks much! Always encouraging to hear of people getting going into networking. It's been a looong time since I first started out, but I remember that excitement, and it's great to hear peoples' stories.

As to your question, I did a brief overview of the new CCNP R/S around the announcement time (another blog space), but didn't have much planned there, partly because I'm out of the writing loop with that cert. ping me somewhere on social media if you can't find it.
