It has been my experience that I can't control every moment of my PD day.
I find looking for the best compromise is a lot less stressfull  than try=

perfection.  Leaves me free for the battles I can win (eg getting my ment=

attitude right).

By the way, you are obviously one hell of a fighter.  Glad your on my sid=
