Dave, I read ya loud and clear on the fusion issue.
I did not realize this was the area in which you were fused with her, thus my probe.
The plan sounds good to me. I hope it works out well.
My H and I seem to have the exact opposite problem; the EC is not really the problem so much as him opening himself up to the possibility of ML on any given day. Your wife seems to be a lot more flexible in that way than he is.
So for me, a schedule is the way to go. Well, not a schedule per se, but more a "we will strive to ML twice a week without fail" goal. It is this without fail part that is essential to the whole plan. Without it, he cannot make it happen and I begin to lose faith in whether we can make it.
However, I am sounding totally morose when we've had a good weekend! So I will sign off with best wishes to you tonight in getting some use out of the Paget book.
