Having a good number of Projects going isn't a bad thing- provided we can keep a handle on making real progress and bringing them to fruition...I find that having just one Project suits me best...gone are the days of juggling three or four Projects at once. I wish you well Bob with your development of your Colonial PWG Book...a period which I know your very interested with and enthusiastic about. Regards. KEV.KEV.
