When I have time, I will …
Well lovely readers, I am at a loss. There doesn’t seem to be much going on this week to report–other than those networking things tomorrow, that I said were happening last week, but really are this week (oops). This is really a great thing, if you think about it. Time to relax, watch TiVO, cook…
