It's always nice to know that, if we can't find it now, we can just make a note to remind ourselves to revisit the research problem in a few months...when there'll likely be an answer that wasn't there, before.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-67888237656976097132015-10-31T06:18:54.443-07:002015-10-31T06:18:54.443-07:00It truly never ends.

Thanks for the reminder. I had even been trying to squint and see if a sloppily written "Johanna" could be mistaken for a "Julia," but knew it was no use. Who knows what runs through people's minds when they contrive those nicknames?!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-77735104119134308282015-10-30T05:03:32.837-07:002015-10-30T05:03:32.837-07:00You know, the Irish are funny people.
