Jim,
Nice. Great. here's the etiquette: keep yourself psyched for choosing
your favorite sprocket spot @ March 1...Read ahead if you want.
Prepare ahead if you want and have time. Make it fit your life. Keep
up the intensity.
Tell all your friends who might join up. Read the history of marriage
vows. Stay excited. Ask more questions. Practice responding
to other posts before the GR posts (unless you are one of those 'fewer
words' types. McCarthy not Oates, say) Smile at this and other posts.
Later,
Mark
