Editorial
I'm still picking up the pieces
My apologies for the tardiness and abreviated nature of today's edition.
When your time is as fully committed as mine, even a small hiccup can cause
backlogs -- and a major one, such as having no phones for 20 hours, can
ruin your whole week.
Today's headlines are up to date and I expect to be fully caught-up by
tomorrow morning.
My thanks to those who emailed tos say that you would be switching from
Telecom to Vodafone for your celluar use -- I didn't know I was that persuasive!
As always, your comments are gladly received.
