I agree, Dave. They are MY clients - not my employer. I am Self Employed, so the only person that can fire me is me. I've been self employed since 1975 and enjoyed every minute of it. Music was my best business venture, ever!

Now, you mentioned that one of the vices you never were interested in was boats, which is a good thing. The word boat is an acronym for Break Out Another Thousand. They are expensive to own and maintain, but damned, they sure provided me, my family and friends with lots of fun over the past 55 years. Mine is up for sale, but if and when it sells, it will be one of the saddest days in my life. If it does not sell, my son will inherit it, then donate it to charity if he cannot sell it. Not a bit deal - I'll be dead at that point.

Dave, and all others on the zone, you are more than welcome to come down to Maryland and the Chesapeake's upper reaches and go sailing with me at any time the weather is fit. No charge, open bar, and the steaks and burgers are on me as well. Yes, I have a gas grill on the boat - Hell, it's a yacht!
