Thanks Mike.

I'm building my list of dates to tell my boss when I'm not coming to work...

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible."
― Hyman G. Rickover

"Scoring is a function of great execution, and winning Is the result, but thinking about winning can pull your focus off of proper execution in a competition. Thinking about process is the answer."- Lanny Bassham

Alvin York believed that the best practice for Match shooting was match shooting. He believed that the best practice for combat was also match shooting. It's funny how a trophy or ribbon or piece of tin can increase the hear rate and make things harder. It also tests your mental focus.

My advice is to try one of the smaller matches. People will help you, particularly if you make it known that you need help. But waiting doesn't work. It just makes you wait longer.
