Tony,

I escaped from the field of medicine many years ago and never looked back. That was a difficult decision to make, but I still believe it was one of the better moves I've made in my life.

I'm still sailing, though, but not as much as I would like. The boat is big enough to sail to the UK, but I'm just too old to make the voyage across the pond.

As for the pay-scale, if you recall I posted something about this last year. I raised my prices by 25%, lost one client, and gained four more. I guess because I charge more they think I'm better--go figure.

I never posted a calendar on my website--figured that the maintenance was too much, and it told the entire world when you were not home. Additionally, it provided site visitors with your telephone number, which could easily lead to someone stealing your identity.

Cheers,

Gary
