Evaluation
- Shelley ... Ren is finally happy and that makes me happy, I am finding it progressively more difficult to participate in the SolSeed business call for a number of reasons and I'll take a www to discuss them with Brandon this week
- Brandon ... ok
- Eric ... Just getting going, I'm going to try and keep the momentum this weekend (no www necessary)
- Ben ... I'm worried by the fact that we are almost half way through the quarter and don't have the one page plan in enough shape to know what we are trying to get done this quarter (also cat is needling my thighs)
