Jen, you rock and roll with those meters!! Can you belive how STRONG the Ducks finished up this challenge, I am SO PROUD of everyone. QUACK QUACK QUACK!<br />

The mom probably agrees, too. Hee!Hee! What a life, hey? Oh well, this way you can get caught up on dictation and sign charts to keep the QA people off your case. <br /><br />Every little bit adds up, and I think Fowl Players did pretty well as a team. The world needs Storks like you!<br /><br />Don't worry, there will be more C2 challenges...and babies! <br /><br />--Jen

It didn't go into a nasty case of bronchitis like it usually does, either. Gotta be like you said, because being more fit has made my immune system into one that kicks tailfeathers. <br /><br />Ducks and Adopted Ducks have done great in the JVTC. Some of the meters that folks have cranked out have just amazed me! I'm proud of everyone, too. <br /><br />WELL DONE, FOWL PLAYERS AND DUCKS!<br /><br />--Jen in WI

Well, my month is ending with more of a whimper than a bang. Yesterday was a non-erg work-out. Today I really thought I would erg, but real life got in the way. Of course, I don't have as good an excuse as the stork Doc. (Well, some of my day was chasing after/driving around those things the stork brought. )<br /><br />However, I'not going anywhere and should be back on the erg tomorrow.<br /><br />Schenley
