I'd be extremely surprised to learn that you are worse than he was. My assumptions about how long that would take to change turned out to be very inaccurate. I'm not trying to influence you in a direction. The "full agenda" argument is compelling and I don't know how much this actually matters to you, whereas it meant a great deal to him. But if your decision- making criterion is based on the belief that there's a major project involved before you can leave the house, that might not be true.
