Responding to Dustin’s offer to help Ardell<\/a> during the Sellsius 101 Blog-a-thon<\/a> (Yikes<\/i>, Dustin! I know it’s the home team and all but 1. that woulda been cheating; and 2. you shoulda had more faith in Ardell; and 3. you don’t write like Ardell; and 4. that woulda been cheating!<\/i>), Ardell nobly responded that she was so busy she never even saw his offer till after she had reached her goal, and even had she seen the offer she wouldn’t have accepted.<\/p>\n

I don’t write like Greg; and 4. somebody<\/i> had to do some money work around here on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Actually, beyond helping out with his desk work on Tuesday, I did pitch in to wash the puppies<\/a> out of the Technorati tags when those pesky critters showed up instead of Sellsius 101. But at about the time Greg was posting his 72nd entry<\/a>, I was walking out the door to go to an inspection.<\/p>\n

And about the time he was writing his 76th post<\/a>, I was sitting on the side of the freeway, praying that today of all days, I wouldn’t be carted off to jail!<\/p>\n
