The sun is out, it’s forecast to be in the 70s today and up to 80 tomorrow. It’s the first day of spring. I’m sitting outside Darwin’s in a t-shrt, it feels wonderfully fresh and warm, and yet there’s something holding me back from really enjoying it. What, oh what could that be…<\/p>\n
I feel totally paralyzed, still, by that question Zoe asked on Friday. What can <\/em>you say about your results? I just don’t know. What are the two points do I want to make?
