Dan,

Others have already offered great advice. I try to keep myself involed in the things that I am passionate about. Distracting myself? Maybe. But hey, it gets my mind off of worrying about it. I also take the basic approach that since I'm a pig-headed sicilian it doesn't matter what the stats are since I'll beat them.

I was told when I was in Italy that we have a different approach to life. Genereally speaking the world eats to live, but for many Italians (and Italo-Americans ) we live to eat. Remember what it is you live for and live for it.

Peace,

Fr. Mike
