About

You may be reading this because a date is approaching on the calendar and you have noticed the dread starting well ahead of it. Almost nobody is warned about the run-up. Everyone braces for the day itself, and the fortnight sitting in front of it often turns out to be the harder part. That shape is well recognized even if it is seldom described to anybody. Losing someone fills a year with dates that arrive whether or not you have prepared for them, and the anticipation reliably does more damage than the occasion. We plan the run-up instead of the day. It is a small adjustment and it changes the whole stretch a lot. Before this profession I earned my living somewhere entirely unrelated, which probably explains a bias toward arrangements over theory. Booking out a difficult fortnight properly is real work and it helps. If something is approaching and the dread has already arrived, write to me.
