I'm definitely game to be a member (or officer) of the Bob fan club. I would so much like to express my gratitude by becoming a success story. So I'm starting again tomorrow. I notice that there are exactly 25 weeks left in this year. Enough for two 12-week rounds of the Incurables Program, with a week's break in between.
As for stubborness -- rightly applied, 'tis a beautiful thing. Sometimes that's all you've got left. A terrier-like stubborness that says, "This can't be God's will -- for me to remain sick. It doesn't benefit anyone. And I'm not going to settle for it. We're getting the heck out of this mess." So there.
