Wow, ExBlockman, like a lot of other people have already said, that really is a great and very encouraging story.
I've only been here about a month now, but even my limited experience with Monk tells me he is a very unique guy. Anyone as busy as Monk is who responds to a PM from some random person he doesn't even know (i.e. me) with a message saying call me at this number is kind of amazing. I did call him, and after I got off the phone, I was scrambling to try to figure out how to adjust my schedule and convince my wife that I needed to go to something called a Monkinar in PHX. She's still a little skeptical of the whole thing, but the past month of CDIV is starting to make her a believer.
Anyway, I'm guessing you'll be in PHX as well, right? It'll be nice to meet you and some of the other people behind all these posts.
