If this goes on past this evening, I’ll start calling everyone to let them know what’s going on (at least everyone I have a phone number for) however, if you’re part of the HPS community, and you’re checking here maybe in hopes of finding out why it seems I haven’t been online for two days, please help pass the word through the grapevine. I MISS EVERYONE! I"M IN LIST WITHDRAW!
