Thanks for your reply!
By "singular data store connection" (bad phrasing) I simply meant specifying the connection information in one location (the class) rather than in every script that uses the session data. Keeping that info in one place was the original reason for creating a "layer of indirection" ... but I absolutely agree, in its current state, the class doesn't provide much benefit. It was that realization that prompted me to post and find out if I should continue with its development or scrap it.

Also, thank you for the "map" advice ... made the change in my code.
