I knew someone like that once - he was my father. Ann, you've got to be kidding. I am a householder, I have responsibilities to my family and my employees. I have a job like most other people. I attempt to do it well. Your dad was a business titan. I am a business small fry, and my business is a means to an end. But I take pride in it, as do my the other employees.

Well, I have no idea when you stopped or if you ever were committed to such things but it doesn't appear as if you have considered it much.Ann, I guess I'll have to revert to a trite phrase. I simply try to live in the moment, and enjoy the moment. Not always easy, but I don't really know a better way. > > Share, take it away...
