Taking a Real Dig At Procrastination
Checked his email again, yep he said 10:30am. Darn, no way we'll get there then. He'll have to wait awhile. I let Mary know he still wants us there at 10:30am, so we can get to Bunnings in the city to

If You're Lost, You Can Look And You Will Find Me...
You go on to sites these days, and there's a common thread: brand yourself. Why, you may ask? Simple, in the forest that is the internet, there are millions of trees. Each one in competition - one with
