Not Washington's birthday, more like Lincoln's

They moved the surgery up, to next Monday, President's Day. I guess the markets will be closed. Good thing, you never know what the global financial reaction will be...

One thing I have learned is that when the doc wants to move things up, you should. There is a little cancer bad guy in there shooting darts, and he doesn't hit the bullseye every time. In fact he misses the board a lot. So cutting down on his time at the mark is a good thing, even if it puts stress (which this will) on one's professional life.

Last year's events turned out great in many ways, especially the reactions of my partners and associates, how they stepped up and covered and kept our clients protected and their matters under control. Great. But I let it happen to an extent where I have had to kind of bust my way back into a couple of things, and that's not so great. This time I'm going to try to treat this more like the flu.
