Sorry about the delay in posting. Things went much smoother on Saturday with my exam, but it was still by far the most difficult test that I have ever taken. I was not alone in this assessment. I worked extremely hard and will be proud of this effort regardless of the outcome. I feel strongly that now that I know more about the test that I will prevail, either this time or the next. I can't tell you how exultant I was after the ten hours was over. I felt like I was on top of the world. I had a eating day on my last day of the test on Saturday. I got a large Steak for Supper and one for my son. My lovely wife does not eat meat so I got her a baked potato and some salad. Sunday we went to church, partly to say a prayer about the results but really just to give thanks for getting back to my normal life. Being able to read a book for pleasure ( I read the new Steven King book, Cell, in a day ), get out the golf clubs ( which I did on Sunday) and even just get back in the pattern of work this week. I still find it difficult to get the process out of my head, after studying eight to ten hours a day for a week solid. But life is getting back to normal.

This is absolutely, positively my last comment about this, at least until I get my test results back which should take about 8 weeks.

I have been exercising intermittently, but plan to get serious and lose some serious weight. Tommorow I am fast, except for salads. Wish me luck.
