Somehow we just need to see the world thru those lenses for everything we do - flexibility and watching trends seem to be good traits to assist! :)M Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703534726619784271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1293651735518246988.post-8809669746177962392007-09-25T16:35:00.000-06:002007-09-25T16:35:00.000-06:00I really like this post.. not so much the NECC con...I really like this post.. not so much the NECC connection but the 9 months ago part.
