I dunno,it seems safer than a grocery store to me,and you are providing some pleasure for people that really need it.

Deane, there are many valuable opinions here in ZS,
but you must be true to yourself.

That was one of the hardest parts of getting out- calls and subsequent explanations to longtime clients. I did a lot of annual events and talking to those clients instantly evoked memories of times past with them and their audiences. I would contact others I knew for availability of dates requested then forward info later. Difficult conversations and nostalgic feelings but if you have the confidence in your decision it does pass. That first round of "no's" is tough I know. No way around it, except to know those feelings will subside. Temper it with the satisfaction of no more hassle that surrounds the actual performing time.
