---- We're cool on the past--you and I. I was just catching up on over 100 e-mails since being offline for a week. I know we talked and I'm okay with our relationship. You are, and always will be my friend. Yes, I know you wanted more money for your work and you deserved it. I just could not afford it. If it makes you feel any better, neither Drew or myself have taked one red cent out of that business and don't expect an income in any way for at least a year or so. We're just happy to know that things are movning to a point that by years-end the business should be able to pick up its overhead, finance its expansion, and start paying back the over $50,000 already invested. That is called . . . good! You know, it's kind of strange. I'm making serious changes in my work-life and my Club 100 friends have been totally supportive. That says something loud and clear to me about doing business honestly and enthusiasticly. Hey, I'm not perfect by a long shot, and I've made lots of mistakes. And I can be really weird, too--just like you feel you get sometimes with your medical thing. I also take chances--try new things. Maybe I'd be a whole lot better off if I just went and got a job but that's not me. I can't do that. But I also know that I'm not getting any younger. I'm feel different now--especially after being on high blood pressure pills for over 3 years. I'm strange to me right now. I don't know me. I do know that I still like bing creative. So, we're okay--you and I. And I am VERY HAPPY that you're settling into your thing and enjoying the process and all the good things that are happening to you right now. That's the way it should be, Jon.
