You know what's great about having enough money in the bank to live
on? You don't have to take crap out of anybody. Last week I got snaked
on an account I have been handling since 1972. One that I had mollycoddled
through their bankruptcy when my finances weren't so hot either.
But frankly, I don't care. I made more on the stock market just off
one phone call three weeks ago than I would have off this account for
two years worth of work. To paraphrase that commercial said, "not
having to take crap--priceless."

Looking at our calendar today. Someone was trying to set a date with
us for a charity deal. Good grief, we sure are popular folks. We saw
this article in WSJ about professionals not having friends. Guess we
beat the curve again, Ball.
