Since I didn't turn in voice cards (and this issue is running substantially late) I can't help but feel like the lecture was directed at me! Am I paranoid?

I sincerely apologize for not sending in cards (or even the disks) - I do enjoy reading and contributing to Archipelago very much, and hope to continue to be a part of this fine group for a long time. Don't take it too personally when I'm late - it's not intended to mean that I don't care. I've noticed that, when I'm feeling overwhelmed by life, the things I most enjoy doing are those which get left by the wayside. I'd probably be much better off if I did the exact opposite, but when I'm wallowing, all I want to do is wallow.

So here's my new year's resolution: not to miss another issue, and to be, if not exactly on time, reasonably prompt in responding.

YIKES! Now it's in writing! Thank the Goddess I can't sign in blood!
