BTW, as of just before noon EDT today, the mandate still wasn't posted on the
Web site.

Yup. He is still showing "Interesting" as open.

....I guess he has been distracted by other priorities of late.

Yeah, he's probably distracted by his day job, just because they pay him to do
it. It's astounding how many otherwise right-thinking people are unwilling or
unable to put photography ahead of their financial stability and their
childrens' future.

I'm a terrible offender as well. When it's a choice between photography and my
real job, I tend to give preference to the latter more than half the time.
(But I'm one of the lucky ones: the boundary between photography and my "real"
job is becoming increasingly blurry.) :^)

Aah, the luxury of retirement!

It isn't too bad being a member of The Great Army of The Gainfully Unemployed.

I think Bowser's current distraction is HS football.
