…dropped the ball. “Bit the bag and stepped out the door,” to quote a quotable movie. Much to my embarassment, we received a batch of emails regarding our Cool Site of the Day of Feb. 03, 2007 which, incidentally, hadn’t been updated since April 7, 2003. Yes, that long. And, YES, it says so RIGHT ON THE HOME PAGE.

So what happened? Well, there was this monkey, see. An evil monkey, and I was scared… and…

The truth? I was in a rush. While normally we give each site very careful consideration, there are times when a date is open, I just got over strep throat, and am in a mad rush to pack up and leave for 5 days where I make a hasty selection. TOO hasty, and put a virtual foot in my virtual mouth. But worry not… the chances of me getting strep just before going away again are slim, and this kick in my virtual butt has been an eye-opener that is going to make me even more scrutinous about my selections.

We appreciate you checking us out, and noticing when a site isn’t up to par for one reason or another, and promise not to take it for granted.
