Miscellaneous comments:
I hate to do it, but I just read the same paragraph in the neighborhood of ten times and I still have no clue what I read. Think I'll take a nap. Rich's alarm clock is set to go off in about an hour anyway, so I'll try to drag my lazy butt out of bed then. Annie gave up about 15 minutes ago and hit the sack, too.

Enjoy the nap, Debi. You've done great so far, but I know it can get painful in the end.

But be sure to come back from my next vlog--it's one that I WILL NOT keep up after the readathon is over...
