      I appreciate your comment, Annette. I’ve been meaning to ask you: In what time zone do you live? The reason for my question is it seems as though about 90% of the time I “Like” a post you were the most recent person to “Like” it before me, so I figure we’re probably in the same time zone and you get up earlier than me or perhaps you are one time zone east of me. I live in California.
