Re: animation

Hey, me again!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I suddenly got real busy.  I
haven't forgotten about the commitment I made to you guys on getting
something written up but I did want to drop a note to let you know it
will have to wait until I can get caught back up.  So, don't expect
anything from me this week.  Sorry about that guys!
