I understand all that you say Seth.
Like I said - probably my mood.

So - hey gang - work has been way down
my clients are feeling the pinch - money's moving slow
my utilities soared to $500 this month
please support me and my clients
by hiring us. We're good. We do good work.
You'll be pleased with our results

Fond regards,
George
