[nagdu] Pilot in 1987

[Julie J.]

Ouch!  That's kind of rough.  Maybe we could set aside the need to blame 
anyone and just realize that sometimes things don't work like we 
wanted.  Sometimes crap happens no matter how much time and effort is 
put into the thing.  Sometimes the stars and moon can be aligned 
perfectly and still things fall apart.

So let's be kind to each other,
