Well, I just lost this morning's post in a fit of multi-tasking.  Here were the highlights of the original post:

1. The "official" calendar says 26 business days remain in 2007.
2. Today marks the start of Holiday Season in corporate America.
3. It's hard to work at full speed this time of year because it seems everybody else in the world is working at half-speed because of parties and vacation.
4. Therefore, only 17 business days remain in 2007.
5. Three weeks to close a home loan doesn't leave room for the unexpected.
6. Start your home loan approval process this week, or risk not closing until 2008.

In nearly three years of blogging, I've only lost one post prior to today.  I would have re-written today's entry, but there's so much time, and so little to do.

Wait a minute!  Strike that.  Reverse it.  Thank you.
