HI, MIke:

1)  I hate when you spend the first part of your excellent leadership thinking describing me.

2)  I hate even more when you drive the point low across the net right into my court.

3)  I hate most when the best comment I can summon is "Yeah, I know ... and I'll try to focus on the right stuff".

This is a message I have heard before ... many times ... and yet the need to remind me to spend my time more effectively will continue.  We are humans, after all:)

Thanks for possibly the most useful suggestion I could hear this week.  Your wisdom is expressed clearly and with warmth.

John
