I had every intention of editing some today, on my day off, but it didn’t happen.

I worked from home today, declining to participate in the ITIM Information Development weekly status meeting, and reluctantly joining a 3:00-3:30 call that did not end at 3:30, and in fact, it ran over until almost 4:00.
