I'm definitely planning to be there. I'll even stick around for the induction ceremony for the first time in ages rather than do my 13 hour drive home.
Harold Lederman is a friend and I'm looking forward to the moment. It'll be worth having to put up with all of the road construction in Ohio on Monday.

Not really. Just dealing with things a little better. Will know more after a visit to my doctor early next week. Will find out how effective the change in medication has been,.
