I understand what everyone is saying, especially about the securities
and investments, but my emotions honestly feel like they are being
pulled - someone always has new information, which usually ends up being
fiction. I figure I should take all this information with a grain of
salt and realize that when there is a date, you'd have to be living
under a rock to not know. 

I will go now - and attempt to bring back my Vulcan logic and patiently
await the next book - whenever it may be.
