Re: [soa-rm-ra] Are we being ignored?

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

No offense, Duane,

But until we get our puppy house-broken and out the door, I 
personally don't want to distract ourselves from the task at hand. 
While in normal times a mental health day off is helpful, right now, 
we need to get beyond the Trust discussion get the wrap up of the RAF 
figured out and scheduled, (we are actually on track for that-more or 
less) and then I'd love to do some cross-pollination or general 
conversations.

Cheers,
Rex
