However, I need to at least do the work and see how my thoughts work out and what I can learn. I HAVE to do that. It's only a 15 or 16 day meet ( depending on Easter ) so I think I can manage to find the 50 hours or so to do the work.
My apologies for turning this into an interview, but I've always been curious about handicapping for a living (not that I'm quitting my day job). How much time do you spend a day capping and does it ever feel like "another day at the office" where you just don't have interest to do it?
