And I&#8217;m getting a little annoyed about this.

We have a family situation that we are dealing with. I am not in the office for the rest of the week, nor will I have much time available to get on the Internet.
I expect to be back at my usual routine by Sunday or Monday.

I have done both over the years, but recently my focus has been on the latter. My goal for 2010 is to get back on the former.
