I\u2019m afraid I\u2019m going to need one more day.  I serve as the Treasurer\/CFO of the group for which I do volunteer work in prison.  With all the health issues I have had, I had completely forgotten to do the annual paperwork, and at about six AM, I realized it.  That\u2019s most fortunate, because I would have thoroughly embarrassed myself had I not remembered in time.  I spent the entire day yesterday doing our corporate tax return, state registration renewal, and state charitable activities report.  I finished just in time to walk to the post office to mail them, to the bank to transfer funds to pay the fees, and while I was out, to the corner store.  So instead of resting, I tired myself even more.  I\u2019ll catch up on replies to comments either later today or tomorrow, and I should be back tomorrow.<\/font><\/p>\n
