MY RESPONSES: Steven Mayer, [log in to unmask]>
1. 20 hours awake
2. zero
3. 1&1/2
4. 15
5. 3
6. 1 hour
7. It depends on whether or not I feel I must have some good time in
reserve and therefore will give in or whether I feel compelled to
finish off something essential
8. My dominant feling is anger with myself,because I cannot work as
efficiently and with as much stamina as I used to have.
With best regards, Steven
