I think the more salient part of Julian's counter proposal is to get a 6mo extension on our taxes, which should give us enough time to focus on the GCEA mediation first.

And if Julian thinks he can recruit a free intern to help out with the bookkeeping, I don't see anything wrong with that. As long as we don't spend *more* effort training an intern plus doing the books...

Best of luck with that.
