I'm still finding my feet after a _major_ head injury; while many symptoms have evapourated, I think it would be wiser to let a year or two extra elapse before picking up any important loads (& while the amount of physical time & effort required of OCMhood is far from extreme, the scope for achievement in that modest role is considerable). So... _if_ circumstances work out reasonably well, I'd be willing to stand for an OCM slot in 2009, but not now.
