Neal,

Mathematically, when a call option is about 8-10 months before expiry, its time premium decays in an exponential manner. Thus, if I were you, I would try to make an educated guess as to "when" (during the next 2-3 months) might be the the optimum time at which you could unload your option.

If you plan to exercise your option, it would be a totally different story.

I generally use options as a trading vehicle. A few times in the past, my short puts were assigned to me, but they ultimately turned out to be highly profitable.

Regards,
Ibexx
