Oh, it's okay! I am amazed at the amount of work you and Walt put in each day, responding to posts with meaningful comments. The support you two offer (as well as from other members) is amazing. :)

Thanks for all your responses everyone, but the journal writing is not a big deal. It's not like I can't stand doing it (or the dishes for that matter). I just made a small comment about it being "kind of a chore" in my original post, putting emphasis that I like what I get out of it. :) I know...
