My eyes are bleary, but that's my own fault for procrastinating. There's an old saying that the amount of time it takes to complete a task is directly related to the amount of time given to complete it. That's what deadlines are for!Susan Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076064230626935030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497169516087803680.post-73608286060198920252009-07-27T10:13:00.097-04:002009-07-27T10:13:00.097-04:00I empathize with you Susan.

Should have turned it around right away. Oh well, water under the bridge at this point.
