Yeah, that's right. I got busted. Big time. So I have to restrain myself until after 5:00 to check personal email and blog. So that means no more multiple posts (more than likely), or I might just turn into Scott and rarely blog at all. We'll see. (Yeah, I had to tempt Karma one last time.)

That is all. For now.
