If circumstances weren't what they are, I'd like to call you and wish you a good birthday, wherever you are. Instead, I just glanced at my calendar and clicked back to my e-mail without much of a thought. Sometimes you think that if you wait long enough, you worry that you'll forget, you'll get soft and lazy. I always do that; always have. But not this time. Gone are the days where I let every negative situation fall by the wayside without ever addressing them. I'm no longer in the market to let by-gones be just that. Even if we don't speak for another six or twelve months or even longer, no one's off the hook. That means you, too.
