Good morning, Robin,

All those enumerated points not withstanding, you can't forget being 
disciplined such that we can jump up at 3:30 to 4:00, to get to the 
gym in time for a 6:30A.M class, prior to doing our day, and then 
being disciplined enough to drag our asses back for more in the 
evenings. And Bill, School happens to bfunction as our J.O.B, we are 
working for rehab in exchange for them giving us help necessary to 
prepare for entry into the work force. As such, when the semester 
begins at the end of this here moon, we will absolutely restrict our 
working out to one in the morn before class.
Have an athletic day, Robin, and Bill!
