Thanks, Gordon. I was about to respond that there are problems that come up when you're away for months that don't when you're away for a couple of weeks, but after thinking about it, I think that your advice makes sense for both situations. I don't have a personal assistant at present, and I think you're right that I should find such a person now and train them so as to be ready for the fall.

As for the IT suggestion, my IT person will be right there in the car with me. Lucky me, huh?
