At the risk of minimizing -
Hey, at our age, a year has passed before you know it. After the election, you will be glad you got in line early. Keep track of all the self help carp you do between now and next year - books read, exercises, whatever - so you can say, i need dope or whatever.
Your having your organizer in recently strengthened me. I cant do formal daily checkins, but i hope to find my franklin planner binder this week so i can start using it mar 1.
