    Crap! I am sorry! I added you in :-)

    I saw that on the day, must have just forgotten to copy/paste it.

    Don’t feel bad, violentecstasy — these tweets weren’t good enough to be included, either:

    stevodarkly Great things here in St. Louis: My family, most of my friends, my work, the zoo, the sight of the Arch. #fridayfive

    stevodarkly … I would also add, “Great memories, some of which involve pork steak.” Our area still needs a mountain, though.

    Ugh. Well, I guess I didn’t pay enough attention. Sorry guys. These things get hard to keep track of as the day goes on.

    Surely you didn’t let little things like life distract you?
