let's play catch-up

At 3:15 this morning, a compromise was reached. My pride settled to use others� web designs and my conscience settled to provide more people, more frequently with less-personal correspondence. Can good result from this?

At 10:50 this morning, I woke to panic and the realization that I was nearly 2 hours late for work�causing me to seriously question my early morning, blog-initiating epiphany.

So, with one strike against me, let�s get this ball rolling. Let�s play catch-up.
