I can’t even begin to explain what happened today–or the number of things that almost happened long enough to derail me. I have not been to the mailboxes, nor the forums, nor just about anything else. It has been that bad a day.

Unfortunately, I am also aware that if I don’t wrap up quickly, skip all the work that I should be doing, and push it into an undefined future, then tomorrow, which is already slated to be horrible, will be much worse. I am not ready for tomorrow; I am not ready for the annual stockholders meeting on Saturday; I have little hope to catch up on anything or get on top of what needs to be done before sometime next week; and I must do so immediately.

So with my apologies, I am calling it a night that never was, and finding my way out of here. I might not be back for a few days, given all that lies ahead, and for that I apologize–but it has to happen sometimes.
