> \*\*Well I did continue to read up a storm here, just cut back on posting. They didn’t have any complaints with my use of the internet at work. I think it’s just time for a little break. I can collect unemployment for 26 weeks so I’m not destitude (yet) On a lighter note, I can now go into NY for any dinners 🙂 \*\*
