So Mark, I don't know about you, but my day just gets away from me sometimes and it drives me crazy.

And so I want you to tell me about that and how to schedule more effectively I could use that.

echoy if Paul Fijiani our fabulous sound engineer can't fix it it's because my

house is virtually empty because I'm moving to Pebble Beach as it happens and so sorry about that that's how houses sound when you move

That said yeah Mike most of us are terrible at our calendars and we're pretty bad at scheduling our time, which, by the way, those are different things.
