Quick question... your answer will determine whether I have follow up
questions or not.

Is it ok to override initialize on an ActiveRecord model?  I've read 
some
thing that say it's ok, some that say it's not... just wanted to get a
general consensus.

Thanks
Dan

You are fine as long as you know what you do.

Can't you use an after_initialize callback?

That's what I ended up doing.
