I don't work them now except for the occasional concert, wedding emergency, etc. I'll start early or go late on a weekday to accomodate a schedule. I have a large honeydo list which usually fills my Saturday and frequently Sunday as well and my boss doesn't like me taking time from that to tune! (grin) Mike -- I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
