Seems composed under the influence of what I fondly call "a case of ass." I've done the same at times. But if you read the post above, you'll note there is no talk at all about Twitter at school, or Twitter as work. Hope your day improves. <em>Clay Burell's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cburell/~3/247511289/' rel="nofollow">An Invitation</a></em> @Benjamin Baxter: What an odd comment.

Clay,
First, I join everyone in sending digital well wishes your way! I might even throw a little rice around at 3 AM, depending on my state of conciousness…

Anyway….Rock right on! And my best to you and your new bride!
