AM- 4, all running.

Some of my regular readers (do I have any regulars?) may have noticed I'm not commenting on my blog or any other FRB-ers as often.  I'm restricting myself to getting on the FRB only once per day in the evening, and don't have as much time to look at everyone's blogs.  I'll try to read everyone's at least once a week.  This should make everyone happy to not have to read my dumb and silly comments on a daily basis!  Although my company is laying off 500 people tomorrow... so I may have much more free time for the FRB soon.

500 people, ouch. I hope you don't have a more free time soon. Best of luck at making it through this round.

Hope you're not one of them. One question: what's on the RR100 play list?

I'm actually wiping my iPod clean and reloading. So we'll see.

Hope you make it through the cuts once again! Will be waiting to hear how it goes.

Good luck Jon - we'll be thinking of you.

Sorry to hear about the layoffs, I am betting you will make it through. tough all over right now, very depressing.

hang in there, and I can't wait to see how you do in the RR.

Seams how Jon hasn't said, He made it through.

I am a regular...and this getting on the FRB only once a day is fantastic. :)

Jon, I'm glad you survived the layoffs. I have to admit my FRB use has been the same if not worse lately. But your "dumb and silly comments" have kept me on the blog for the last two years...
