You're a man after me own heart, sure ya are. I'm a divil for the auld phonetic alphabet, I'm forever early, I always prep the night before and I learned the roll in the 1970s from Judith Chalmers on a British TV travel programme called Wish you were here and I've never forgotten it.
I've always had the impression you apply specific elements to your life that have helped you operate better professionally and personally. It's incredible how many choose not to find and apply such things though and their results speak for themselves...as do our own. 🙂
