Yep, I really do mean "heartening," because it means that there's
so very much great stuff going on that everyone misses a little
something (except a few, you know who you are ;) ) because there
are only so many hours in a day! Now, I'd love to think we can
all be on top of everything 24/7/~365.25, but it's just not as easy
anymore. And the inability of any one person--those few, again,
excepted--to fully grapple with it all is a sign of growth and
vibrancy. IMHO.

I might think so, but only because I looked like a dork at
first, thinking it might be a MOC. :) But what I've said
above holds, at least for me. Maybe I'm just in optimist
mode now that summer's here, I have two nice jobs, and
my own course (for once). Oh yeah, I upgraded my machine
on Saturday, and my DSL gets turned on next week. Yeeeha!

I've been meaning to ask when you'll get access to the
whole shebang again. If memory serves, you've been operating
on a truncated collection for some time, with much away in
storage...are you going before Brickfest or after?
