Metrics for a busy Thursday

Not the 7.5k I wanted, but a decent amount. Have talked to Beard5 and he has agreed to be my guard gatekeeper all weekend, so I can get more wordage done. Seriously, if I could stop squandering time (aka, answering the phone, talking to people outside, having a life) I could get a ton more …
