- Gotta go...
-
- Working can be hell every once in awhile. This week and next are one of
- those times. I've tried to work *and* play wordsler this week, and it's
- been awful. I must give up something, and to my regret it's WORDS-L.
- See ya 'round.
-
- Oh, I'll be back. A week, 10 days, maybe even two weeks from now I'll be
- bright and chipper again. In the meantime, don't be a stranger -- I'll
- certainly read my private mail. If there's some issue I should be aware of
- (color selections for the t-shirt -- bold oak green block letters on jock
- gray), keep me apprised. If there's an interesting bit of trivia, let me
- know.
-
- There are 74 messages in my mailbox now, most of which I'll save up to read
- some other time. So if I pipe in with some odd out-of-context replies to
- dead threads, just think of it as a distant echo from my frenzied 'two
- grant-renewal-writing' desk. Once that ordeal is over, I'll take a long
- weekend of R&R visiting a couple of sisters-in-law in CO and my wife's
- grandmother, aunt, and cousin near Albuquerque (small chance of a FTF with
- Maya??). So maybe my grand re-emergence will be WHTMICO&NM...
