TM, We have special rules, just nobody knows what they are. Our office is coming in very early on Monday, though I am not sure why we are. It will be too early to call clients. I am not scheduled to give blood until Wednesday. And nobody will know exactly how the market is going to react until it opens. I'm an early morning riser anyway, so it's no big deal. I've been that way since I first heard Pure Prairie League's song "Early Morning Riser." They influenced me a lot. I also dated two successive women named "Amy" after buying their album. <g> Anyway, we are going to have breakfast and talk strategy. If they start talking about lighting candles and carrying flags, I'll have a cow. I know some folks need that sort of empty gesture, but I am too much of a cynic and a realist. Do something positively helpful; don't do something that is just symbolic. People feel helpless, but we are the least helpless nation in the world. So, I suppose we will discover the new rules together as we go along. Since many of us didn't follow the old rules, I don't know what the new rules' long term impact will be. <g>
