Jim,

LOL Almost "use to be" my daily schedule.
Except for the "Office Manager" term.  Wife hates when I
call her that..........................

I can safely say that in another 20 years your schedule
WILL change.  I know.................  The body just
starts to wear out.

I agree, others can't keep up and they don't understand.
Even now I notice they keep taking breaks and I don't.

Being in control is important.  BTW this means WE are
control freaks, doesn't it.  Not all bad.

Have a good rest of the weekend.
