Hey John,

We're about on the same schedule...I received my book yesterday also and hid in a corner of the house reading it (should have thought about that popcorn...sounds good). I didn't get my plans yet though....but received a video "Grace Under Pressure" on learning to roll (it's giving me fits, so we're in the water this morning trying it out). My wife's goin' nuts since she saw my book....why? 'cause my "honey-do" list is longer than you can imagine (it even includes things like "build me a new house!" So, now she's afraid I'm going to be distracted from all that ....RIGHT! Pretty smart lady). My plan is to read, and re-read this book until I'm comfortable with it all, then I'll get started....
