Don't think about length or quality or anything-- just write.<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about writing blahs, though. I have them myself, right now. I worked on a syllabus today (mostly changing dates) and didn't touch the revision that's due August 25th. <BR/><BR/>Did you go to California? Did you get a real vacation?
