I am officially on vacation.  My work week is over until next Monday.  I will retire and try for a leisurely and long night's sleep.  But my vacation will only last until 10 am in the morning.  That marks the start of two days of intense study as my intention it to not only to watch, but to watch with interest  all 5 sessions of general conference.  It is a daunting challenge.  I have been mostly successful many times in the past years, but I don't believe I have ever enjoyed a perfect weekend where I was fully focused for all 10 hours.  It remains my goal and I will do my best, but we shall see how well I do.  I am definitely getting better at it as I grow older (and wiser).  Maybe this time I'll be able to pull it off.  It is something I hope would be the goal of each and every one of you, but I know the reality of things, so I just expect that you will do the best that you can.  It should serve me well for the most part of my weekend, but the cherry on top of my weekend or the icing on my cake will be our family time come Sunday night.  But for now I am going on vacation for several hours and put work way off until Monday.  My only chore will be in the morning when I have to go to the clinic for my semi-annual blood test.  I plan to be back home by 10 and then do my best to absorb all that is available to me during the sessions of conference.  I am not afraid of how hard it will me.  I've been in training for some time and I expect to execute my game plan and accomplish my goal.  I believe that there will be something there especially for me and I intend to find it and make it mine. I will let you know what I discover.

Oh yes, I did start my day with 40 this morning, and I felt like I could have done more, but that isn't the plan.
