I like the fit on you, and it doesn't look like those decreases are too drastic.<BR/><BR/>Good luck stepping back into the fray. Research is one of those things that comes back once you get started, I think. I've been struggling a bit with the focus thing even though I've never left, so I think you'll be fine. Enjoy that last bit of freedom, though!EGunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941668303286640744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-16910762984805872582009-01-28T10:22:00.000-08:002009-01-28T10:22:00.000-08:00The blocking has worked wonders.
