Thank you all!
After 24 hours of reflection, I can see that I did a number of things right that I couldn't have done even a month ago. So I am going to try to hang onto those, and add a new lesson or two to take into the next "situation". I appreciate the encouragement. I especially appreciate what Brian said about not getting to the breaking point. That is just a good "anger management" skill. So is slowing down. Mark, I will e-mail details -- I think you will appreciate how tense it was when you hear who it was and where. I didn't really realize it myself, until later, reflecting on the whole "scene". New mantras: "Sometimes wrong, never indecisive!" "Never, never, never, talk to one coach at a time!" "Whack early, whack often! (sometimes)" "Fans? What fans?"
PS I am writing a thank-you note to that AD who saved the situation. She is my hero this week!
