At that time, I only...

Did you eat too much for Thanksgiving? I sure did and I'm sure that many of you feel that way. I could ask a question like "do you too many fonts installed?" and I'm guessing most of you would also answer in the affirmative. So after a day known for gluttony at the dinner table, I'm...
