As others and your inside consultant have noted, if you had bombed a critical item on the pre-flight exam, the game would be over. We know that you will make it!

Actually quite handy because you can look at what your hand does on the guitar neck and check what song will be played next <i>at the same time</i>.<br /><br />(Example given for right-handed player. No discrimination against left-handed players intended. Left handed players with the set list on their right underarms are just as cool.)<br /><br />(btw: Sorry for not commenting as much as usual these days.

Please take your time, and don't feel guilty about taking a day off. <br /><br />Yes, the suspense is killing us, but I understand how life gets in the way of blogging. Frankly, I'm amazed that you've managed to write so consistently and succinctly while staying employed. It's hard to believe that you do so much work without us paying you a cent.<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, thank you!DataPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478857340951784073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-45557450591908876512011-07-01T13:13:57.039+00:002011-07-01T13:13:57.039+00:00Please take your time.

I sympathize a little with Rob, in wanting to hear the end of a serialized story ... but only a little, as I like the detail and the pacing is fine. Honestly, if you're rushed or it's not fun anymore, take a day off! With pay! :) Thanks for the vicarious check-ride thrill... I'm hoping the airwork was more enjoyable for you...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09991660841701835065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-73989643763924876842011-07-01T12:59:36.989+00:002011-07-01T12:59:36.989+00:00Honestly not done for tension.
