It comes down to a choice:
If you itemize everything you do, your submission reads like a laundry list.
Or you write from your heart and cut out half of what you did the last few years.

We always choose to write with some heart, but I always worry about the things that we have left out of our submission.

The choice is very difficult.
We certainly know that feeling. We planned/wrote/rehearsed our presentation tonight, and we had to leave out several pretty cool things from that too. At least we have most of our major topics covered in the submission and/or presentation.

And I was mistaken earlier, we did manage to sneak in one sentance (but that's it) about the television appearances. But we had to reserve our recent visit to capitol hill to our exec summary and presentation.
