Is this like giving up the idea of "I am in control, and I am going to determine when I sit, and also I am going to enforce said commitment" in order to "let IT sit" as it were? I'm getting that expression from that book "Zen in the Art of Archery". "Let IT shoot". On the other hand, IT might sit at 6 a.m. every morning without fail. Ian ------------------------ Yahoo!
