When it's not this, it's that. When it's not that, it's either these or those or them. Rarely ever is it us, or so I like to tell myself. So goes it with our most recent round of delays surrounding our launch date. Fingerpointing is counterproductive and rarely a healthy alternative for peacemaking, so instead I'll sieze this moment and attempt to turn negativity on its head to find something positive that may come of this.

Perhaps it's best to equate the overdue launch of DressMonkey.com (tentatively set for Dec. 2006) to a baby born past his expected due date: normally with only just a touch of good fortune will everything turn out as expected in the long run.

It's a stretch. But a stretch is what I need desperately to fall asleep tonight.
