Richard, Unfortunately it's our way of life, for all of us. My wife and I are 67 and both of us are busier than at ANY time in our lives. Our oldest daughter finally had to throw in the towel on an abusive marriage so she is now out on her own and has a 16 yr old and a 13 yr old. If it weren't for my wife and I, well I have no idea what would happen to them. I make a trip three times a day to a school 20 miles away, the last trip is at 7:00 at night.
My sister's husband died a couple years ago, I am trustee for half their home on behalf of her late husband's children. Finally she has sold the home, the closing was changed so many times I had to give a Power Of Attorney to our legal council as I couldn't depend on myself to be available to attend the closing, (whenever they decided to get a fixed date) my schedule is full from the time I awaken at 6:00 until I go to bed at 1:00 to 1:30. I say all this to help you understand why trying to organize anything is almost impossible, heavens in our family we can't even get Christmas on a fixed time, nor Thanksgiving. We all know we are nuts but we don't know how to say enough is enough. So sorry, maybe when Apple comes out with the big ole TV we can sit around in our living rooms and have a meeting via video conferencing!! Thanks for your efforts, it's not a rejection believe me.
