With the launch of OPENAssociations and this darn pesky economy, seems like the To Do list is looking way more daunting than previous Summers.

Which really is kind of depressing, especially when you live in Chicago.  Winters here are no fun, which is not news to anyone who has ever visited in January or February. So us natives spend our entire existence waiting for Summer... then when it finally arrives (which it did this week with vengence), we find ourselves chained to our desks, with major projects and initiatives and a world around us that seems to be traveling at light speed.

So, we will try to sneak in a barbeque or two and a couple trips to the pool (or racetrack), but for the most part we plan to keep our nose to the proverbial grindstone for the foreseeable future.

Now back to work.
