Not never — I go, four or five times a year, when it cannot be helped.

But I built a firm on being the person in the room, and I have spent two years handing that to other people, and it has cost my business real money and real opportunities and I do not have a plan for fixing it.

Because the thing I have not been able to argue myself out of, in two years and about ninety sessions of my own, is a piece of arithmetic that arrives every single time I put a bag by the door.

It happened while I was gone.
