Hope you find Reptitude useful going forward. @Doug It's funny but based on that descriptuon you seem so proactive, and you actually have a plan and you are working the plan, so maybe it is an inverted joke to call it "Someday" ! :) @Roy Thanks for the good wishes, much appreciated and right back atcha/ It’s always a revelation to me to hear how many creative people — even those who seem to be cranking out the work basically troublefree — experience, battle and sometimes successfully manage their own personal version of background noise.
